Why didn't you say this at Bike Night? I remember you in agreement with the consensus of the table that we would try bike night once a month at a different location once the numbers got good this summer?
Good luck with that. If they can't make it to bike night on any other night but tuesday )since everyone changes their schedule to accomodate Bike Night on Tuesdays) How are they possibly going to go on a ride on another week night? It would be great and I wish you luck. I will even try to attend if i can but i think it easier to plan group rides on the weekend or short/small rides from bike night.
Yep, you are very good at that Mark. As long as it is not a big group or at a FAST pace.
Short rides from bike night out to the community does more to get the word out about bike night than just sitting waiting for people to ride through Winooski.
I disagree. If we do the internet mailing list/craigslist/ NESR/ Word of mouth/ Cell phone call roster... we can inform PLENTY of people prior to any changes. I don't think going to the same Larger location one night a month is going to confuse people at all. It just might excite them.
Or maybe VESTS!!!
Sitting and talking to people at cremee stands/ A&W/ ETC helps get the word out. I am not saying the whole Bike Night leave to go on a short ride from bike night but i don't see a problem with a small group going on a creemee run. I would MUCH rather see rides planned EVERY sunday morning but As far as Bike Night "hours" I don't think there has ever been anything official. People come before 6 and leave after 9. So that point is mute. Hell, Let me decree that bike night starts at 6 and anyone that gets there before or after isn't an official part of bike night.
I think it ridiculous to sit on my ass for 3 hours when it is a beautiful evening and I want a Creemee! I still stress that it is done to get the word out and add another fun thing to do at Bike night (other than tire kicking, eating pizza and bench racing)
That is exactly what I am doing. Our views are different. That is fine. Maybe it isn't as fun as YOU personally would like to have but it is going to take some effort and sacrifice on your part to make bike night grow.
I find it interesting that you are so vocal here Mark. I think it is great. Next bike night I will keep my mouth shut so you can talk a little more while we are at the table and face to face.
