Getting Ride Notifications

by Roger Pierce

As a member of the GCC, we hope that your priority in life is finding out about the next ride your group will do.

The default way to do this is to look at the Ride Schedule, either in the Members Area or in the snapshot that is sent to GCCMail each afternoon.

We also encourage you to sign up to get an email when a ride is posted, changed, or cancelled for your group.  First, make sure you have JOINED your group!  This is an easy process you do from the Ride page in the Members Area.  When you join, just leave the checkbox checked to receive the emails.  If you are a member of the group you ride with and want to start receiving the emails, click on the My Membership button for your group and check the box (near the bottom of the page).  You will NOT get an email when a recurring ride is generated by the automated system; emails are only generated when a human posts or changes the ride.

Getting the emails can prevent you from showing up at the wrong location when a change is made after the snapshot is sent out, or standing in the rain when the ride has been cancelled.
