Sorry about the mass email again but we are really gonna push to get
the word out for the next few weeks. Please forward this out on your
lists, seriously.
Well
The Group Ride has been officially up and running for a week
now. The response from the cycling community has been great. We have
had 3000 hits in the first 7 days. That's pretty friggin' good but I
bet we can do better.
We are still a bit lacking in the rider
involvement side. This site won't work without more input from you.
If you find an article in the Coloradoan about cycling send it to us,
log on to the forum and set up your own group ride, post a comment in
the comment section at the bottom of the site pages. Get involved.
I know cyclist love free stuff, so here is what I am proposing.
When the site hits 5k visits (sometime next week) we will draw a name
from a list of site users. The winner will get a home grown prize
package. Here is how you can increase your odds.
The first thing you have to register on the forum.
http://thegroupride.freeforums.org/
This is how you enter the drawing. Every time you post a comment on
the site, add/reply to a topic on the forum or submit something for the
site you will get your name added again. Basically every time your
name pops up as having contributed to the site I'll add your name
again. Pretty easy.
The winner will receive 1lb of coffee from The Bean Cycle in
downtown Fort Collins and a sixer from New Belgium Brewing. Or
something bigger and better if someone wants to supply it.
So visit the site often and interact. After all, this is your site.
Good Luck!
