Sunday 7th March MTB ride

Not received it here, Nick.  I've checked my spam folder and only found one from VCGH regarding spinning classes.  I haven't checked my profile but I'm guessing I should be receiving MTB emails as well!

No, I haven't received anything either and I have definitely got the MTB events subscription list selected on my profile. 

Thanks for the replies: my fault, I didn't do the final bit, it should definitely be with you now.  Hope to see you on Sunday: it could be / should be a nice day

...still nothing. 

Hi  I didn't get it either.  I've got down in my diary that I'm leading this Sunday?

Jules

Can't work this new-fangled calendar thingy so posting here if anybody fancies a night ride while there is a window of good weather and a nearly full moon before the season starts in earnest on 1 April.  Meet usual time usual place unless flinging down with rain sleet or snow by then.

Jules, if you could lead this Sunday then I'll do the current space in the rota which is the 21st March.  How does that sound?

Nick 

Cool, i can't do 21 March probably - let's hope weather is better this week than last!

Jules

Thank you and good luck with using the calender / email alerts!  I'll try and remove my ride to avoid any confusion.  Nick

Nick/Jules, you can edit the event that Nick has posted in the calendar rather than deleting and adding a new one.  Just click on the event via the calendar and then click the edit tab and edit away!

I was going to say that: it doesn't look as though you can delete a calender event anyway, just change it as Greg says, so Jules just do that. 

 Hi - if necessary i can delete postings, not available to anybody else, emails are not sent at straight away; there is a background process that runs roughly on the hour; checking the log there was a batch of 64 emails sent out about an hour or so after nick sent a test email. If people didnt get the MTB email let me know your email address and I'll look into whats happening.

thanks dave

 Nick, I got your ride email thing from the website so something works somewhere!

Andrew.

Email arrived for me too, Nick.

Dave, if you could delete my ride from the calender then that would save any confusion

Jules, please go ahead and post your ride.  So long as it starts from Godalming train station at 9am on Sunday then any people who have scheduled that in will not be disappointed.   

Many thanks

Nick

 Nick - looks like Jules has updated your post so not sure what to do, i'll leave as is, only one post on Sunday

Dave  - I think I might had done the edit  just trying to see if I could!

 I'm lost, what ride is happening this sunday 7th?

Nick originally posted a ride but didn't think the email notification had worked.  Julie then said that she thought she was down to lead this ride, even though she was meant to do last Sundays ride and is down to do a ride on the 28th March.  Nick said, okay, you can do this ride and he'll do the ride on the 21st, as no one had put their name forward to do that one.  In the mean time, the email notification had worked and everyone thought that Nick was doing the ride this Sunday (you still with me?!).  Anyway,  to muddy the waters further, I went and edited the ride details posted in the club calendar (have you seen it?) and put Jules down to be the ride leader (I wanted to see if I could edit a ride already posted).  It worked.  Nick then asked DaveN to delete the ride in the calendar and Julie would post a new one.  Unfortunately, because of my meddling, DaveN thought that Julie had edited the post so didn't delete it, so it still has the originally wording that Nick put in, but with Julie as the ride leader.  Deep breath....I think Julie is doing the ride on Sunday?

i cant seem to find where the email notification for the rides are.. help please

Thanks Greg (I think)

Steve, click on where it says 'Hello [username]' on very top right of page to open your account profile, then manage subscriptions

 Hi Steve

If you look at the Calendar in between Membership & Routes (orange band at top of this page in white lettering)

Click on club off Road events and there you have the posting.

Cheers

Graham

Ok thanks for that, i seem to be a bit dumb when it comes to cumputar stuff

Jut got back from a ride and wow, what a difference a week makes!  Complete contrast to last Saturdays ride; hardly had to clean me or my bike when I got back home.  I did some of the route Nick mentions for this ride (if he does it!), so it won't be a mud-fest if you're planning on going a long.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the ride as we have visitors, so enjoy yourselves.

Someone is going to pay for this dearly.

I was so looking forward to this ride and now trains are running to Godalming from waterloo from 7.37 and not from 7.55 as usual which lives me with not enough time to get there from Heather Green! I wish the trains wold run regular times like Germany and be less messed up each week having different time.

IF YOU WANT TO RIDE NEXT SUNDAY - TO AVOID DISRUPTION YOU MAY NEED TO CONSIDER COMING TO STAY WITH A VCGH RIDE BUDDY ON SATURDAY NIGHT.  

wow ride buddy who are they and how to hook up? thanks 

 Hopefully Greg will point you in the right direction - 

Hi, despite all of the confusion the ride went ahead and 7 of us turned up.  Beautiful day although it did get a bit cold towards the end.  Unfortunately we had a couple of quite serious mechanical issues so hopefully things are all sorted out for Neil and Jules. 

Sorry for all that confusion regarding who was going to do what this weekend, but the direct to email facility is not as instantaneous as I imagined it would be.

Nick, we enjoyed the ride which is all that matters and I find the odd mechanical breakdown helps me get my breath back. Thanks
