    Regular rides - too many threads

    There seems to be a new thread spawning for every proposed weekly ride - some for the same area different nights, some for different areas. I know there is a sticky so these either need to be integrated or maybe a new section created to house these so that the one offs aren't lost in the mix. I'm also grouping all the area (Richmond hill, brampton, mississauga, etc) threads in this...
    Practise is everything... Get out there and ride.

    What messes them up is the lack of dates in the titles and or all the msn type chatter on these threads Hard to figure out whats going on if there is 800 pages of chat.

    Well, my bike has gotten out of second gear, but I have what it takes regarding the chicken strips. Corners scare me so much I have to make a complete stop before turning. My wife calls my chicken strips "responsibility strips." She is proud of them.

    Any chance of keeping the "past rides/hookups" open so we can still post in there? Presently they are closed.

    Re: Regular rides - too many threads

    Can we keep the post going for a least a week after the ride is over?

    My thread for this past Sunday's ride has been moved already and we cannot post anymore on it.

    Why are some rides are moved but not all?

    It makes it very confusing to search through old posts to find a ride, if you move an old ride into an "over already thread" then you leave the rides behind that are "yet to be" easier to go through... There is nothing worse than reading through 800 pages to see if there is a ride and all the info that you need to get there. Simple things like dates, time and location in the thread titles incredibly simplifies things no???

    Re: Regular rides - too many threads

    what if we create a sticky with all the weekly rides (established ones) listed there,

    more the 500+ post threads to the past rides and leave them open for people to post
