Just an idea.Create a section where members of the same geographic location can arrange to meet and ride.

I like the idea. Just not sure how it should be done. We have 700+ members now, but not alot of them post. Just browse. Anyone else have ideas?

Members from all over the world on board, difficult to truly organize a section for this.

Suggest you just create a new topic in lobby and feel out your idea.

Example. New york riders interested in a mai 16th ride let me know.

Well we've had this subject come up in the past, problem is how do we divide up the areas, we have riders from all over the globe.

Lot's of Americans, Canadians, South Africans, Australians, etc....

If you want to organise a group ride, in most cases you'll havea hard time getting anybody from more than 30 miles from your location sign on. So how many locations do we need to create a local rides section.

Just create a "who in New York state wants to get together for a ride" type post in the lobby.
