We recognize the inconvenience of the present RSVP process, waiver signing and waiver document storage.  There must be a better way to do what needs to be done – something modern.  A few energetic and knowledgeable members are developing a new process where:

• Ride Leaders will post rides direct to the rides Calendar page on our website.
• Riders will need to login and RSVP, or register, online through the ride posting on the Calendar page, then receive an e-mail confirmation.  Riders may also cancel.
• Riders will electronically check a box to “sign” the waiver as part of registration.
• Ride Leaders will be able to access the list of registered riders.
• Information will be retrievable for who “signed” the waiver, when, and for which ride.

A temporary phase is presently underway where a few rides are posted to the Ride Calendar with online registration (a.k.a. RSVP).  This phase will require electronic waiver “signing” as part of the testing and signing the paper waiver as usual in a parallel testing scheme.

This new process will be a significant improvement for BIKES Club activities.  More information will be provided as the process matures in development.

Have a great ride!
