Ever want to go riding on a certain date but can't find anyone to go with? Ever want to try riding with new people?
I have noticed folks posting to this forum looking for someone to ride with on a certain date. There has to be a better way for like minded riders to rendezvous to a destination. After all, didn't your mother tell you not to ride alone? ...
Well, how about starting a public calendar for Michigan trail riders. Perhaps we could open a Google account and create a public calendar just for this occasion...
Below is how it could work:
Obviously this would need to be tested, and Google calendar may not be the best choice. But the calendar with this forum is broken (stuck on 2006). Any thoughts? Please vote...

Below is how it could work:
- Interested riders would get a Google Gmail account.
- Create an appointment and duration on the date to ride and name the appointment with the name of the trail.
- All interested riders would put their gmail username, rider skill level, and their home town on a single line in the appointment details section. Example entry: "jmcbrat (B) Detroit"
- Users could confirm ride details via email and perhaps share a ride if both are from the same general area...
- If this works, then put the link to the calendar in a sticky topic, then later move it to the FAQ.
