...was cumbersome, but possible. Not anymore.

It's all been said enough that the site is user un-friendly, hard to read, badly spaced, nesting sadly missing in threads, and slow (Jim, did you really say yesterday that it may take more money to resolve the problem of slowness?  Shouldn't basic functionality be part of what we paid for already?)  No need to add to that. However, yesterday, cumbersome though it may have been, I was able to access most posts.  Today, many threads won't open at all - I get an error message, and more frustratingly,  new posts within the threads seem to have only a # and no content.  I have been unable to access any of these.  Any idea what's going on?

 That's all I get when I try to list a ride, look up my ride history, and several other areas. I understand the limits of volunteerism, but didn't we pay for this new site?

In scouting around this new site, I went to the new members page and was surprised to see annual membership described as one year from the date of joining.  I thought that was a bylaw change that is being voted on now through the end of the election cycle tonight.  Am I wrong that the current bylaws call for membership to be by the calendar year and the change is currently up for a vote?  Were the votes for bylaw changes due earlier and counted already, and if so, did I miss an announcement that they were voted in?

Once you have signed up for a ride, but later learn you won't be able to make it, how can you unsubrscirbe from the ride?

Thanks,
Daniel

I hope to visit Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand in January and February and am interested in cycling tours, camps, and/or towns that may provide a good cycling base.  I am primarily interested in challenging road cycling but may also consider trips that include other activities.  I am not looking for luxury accommodations and I am not interested in high-end tour operators such as Backroads.   I would welcome any suggestions or guidance.  Thank you. 

I just became a member today and I'm excited to meet local fellow bike enthusiasts. I'm wondering if anyone is doing rides in Prospect Park during the mid-morning or early afternoon on weekdays? I work from home, so I try to get in some loops on my bike whenever the Park is quietiet. If anyone is interested in joining me (I go at a 14 mph pace), let me know!  THANKS!

Diadora mountian bike shoes with mounted SPD cleats.  Men's size 9.5 US, they seemed a little small so I didn't use them much and they have sat in my closet for the most part.  If you are a 9 they will probably fit you better.  Pick up in East Village.  Drop me  a note or a line.

 Hi All.  I need to train this winter as I signed up for La Vuelta PR.  I was thinking of doing some indoor training with my bike trainer when the weather gets unbearable.  Can anyone suggest what DVDs have been helpful, interesting and not boring to keep using?

Thanks.

I like the weather/extended forcast feature. Thanks!

If one of the objectives of the new site was to prevent anonymous posts on the message board we need to try again. Other Enhancements:

1) Consider adding a feature that will allow a user to choose to stay logged in for 3 days or so.

2)  Consider reordering the ride listing columns to Date/Time/Level/Distance/Name/Leader/Spots Remaining.

3) In the actual ride description, consider adding the Day of week under "Ride Information" (right hand column).
