This is the Ride Database and it's in beta, which is a techy term for saying it's good to use but not quite perfected yet!
The idea is that we build up a list of rides based on club rides or ones you've done yourself that you think others might fancy giving a go either as a club ride or solo.
What would be great is if we can categorise the rides in a consistent format which means we could then use the forum search (which is actually pretty powerful) to find rides of a certain criteria - eg length, town/village visited, hills. It may take us a while to get this spot on and I'm keen not to make this complicated, but as a starter I'm suggesting posts follow this format:
<Ride name>
<Towns and villages passed through>
Miles: <actual mileage>
Distance: Short|Medium|Long
Gradient: Flat|Undulating|Hilly
Stop(s): <Coffee stop>
<Link to route or attach GPS file>
Short being <30 miles, medium being <60 miles, long being 60+
I'll give it a go with a couple and would be keen to see what you think - please feedback and make suggestions!
