I think that having a thread dedicated for Utah riders to announcing their upcoming rides would be very helpful. A couple of you seemed to like the idea when I threw it out there on another post, so I thought I'd start it.
Rather than starting a new post every time you want to announce a ride, why not have a single thread that everyone looks for to find out what the Utah bunch is up to?
If this works the way I hope, it will have several benefits:
1. You can post your ride announcement quicker--just add a reply to the running thread.
2. The thread should be fairly active and move to the top regularly for better visibility.
3. You can subscribe to the thread and receive email notifications when others post so you don't miss out on a ride that you may be interested in.
4. You can quickly get a history of past rides and the riders who went. I think this would help everyone to get better acquainted and make it easier for newcomers.
Please let me know if you like this idea, or if you have other suggestions. I notice that many of the Utah riders over on the ADV board tend to post their rides on a single long-running thread and it seems to work pretty well for them.
If this thread takes off, I will make revisions to this original post as needed so that it's clear what we're doing. I was also thinking that we could make a dedicated thread for the follow-up ride reports of the rides listed here.
Opinions? Suggestions? Good? Bad?
