Would you like
to be notified when changes are made on this website? Would
you like to receive occasional weekend ride invitations? These
two services have been combined as of Oct. 2007.
Three ways to
stay in touch:
- Register for
the club discussion list at Google groups. Simply enter an
email address in the box below and follow the steps. You'll
be asked to verify that you have used a working email address
by clicking on a link in a confirmation email you'll receive
at that address.

Too Much Mail?
-
This is a discussion group that allows me
not only to notify the group of changes and rides, but also
allows all members of the group to reply and post to the entire
group.
-
If lots of folks are posting rides, we'll
all have more options. This is good.
-
But what do I do about all that mail?
-
You have four options to manage that mail.
The last two will reduce your mail load to 1 message or less
each day.
- Log
in and
look for edit mymembership on the right side.
-
Receive every message and configure your
mail reader to drop all the messages into a special folder
so as not to clutter your inbox.
-
-
Receive a summary that lists messages and
read only the ones you want.
-
Receive a daily digest with up to 25 messages
in their entirety
Don't want to expose
your address?
With spammers trolling
the web for email addresses, you might want to be careful about
exposing your main address. Use a secondary address. In fact when
you subscribe you will receive a gmail account. Use that address.
If it is compromised later, delete it and open another.
Yahoo mail allows
you to create one "extra account." You might use that
extra account to register avoiding using your main address again.
The extra account isn't even your main Yahoo account and can be
deleted if it is compromised.
List etiquette
- When replying
to the group . .
- delete the bulk
of the message but . .
- Keep essential
information you are responding to.
- Otherwise make
sure you have written enough so new readers will understand
what you are responding to.
- Change the subject
line when you take the discussion in a new direction.
- ALL CAPS is considered
shouting and very rude.
- Language--it
should go without saying that this is a family list.
- Don't be timid.
Jump in! Participate. Let us know you are out there.
Unsubscribe
- While I can remove
you, it is simpler if you just visit the
- http://groups.google.com/group/twinriverscyclists
and manage your own subscription.
- Once logged
on, look for edit my membership on the right side.
You'll be able to adjust the amount of mail you receive
as well as find an unsubscribe button.
Usage
- To post to
this list you need to use an email address you registered
as a member and address your mail to twinriverscylcists@googlegroups.com.
- You never have
to visit the site but there are lots of cool things to do
including the ability to share files.
- Lurkers: folks
who subscribe but never participate. We're glad to have you,
but we'd like to know what you think.
- So, here's
hoping you'll all join and post some rides.

Calendar 
If
you use a news reader, use this address for our calendar feed.
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/twinriverscyclists%40gmail.com/public/basic
You won't get update notices or
news but you will get everything on the main calendar.
It doesn't seem to include events added by board members and
shared on the calendar. It is still worthwhile visiting the
main calendar.
In
the Spin
This feed for your news reader will
give you each of the articles posted in the middle column of
the first page.
