Don't Miss the Boat
RBC Meetup is the main communication tool for club rides.
We strongly encourage you to RSVP. When you RSVP, you will receive communications related to the ride.
If you do not RSVP, we highly recommend that you at least look at the event before coming to a ride, especially if weather if "iffy." A ride may be salvaged by delaying it an hour or so. Also, a start location may change if new information necessitates it.
RBC Meetup: Important Points
As most of you are aware, the club's electronic calendar is on RBC Meetup, where you'll find detailed information about rides including maps, cue sheets, electronic routes, and start locations. You can see who else is going and whether other riders of your speed and/or style are attending. It works very well as a place to post and look for comments and clarifications. RBC Meetup will also enable you to be aware of rides that have been added and post or view ride photos.
Last year, the club transitioned pretty well to a member only meetup model. There have been occasional hiccups. Have you experienced any of these?
I can’t see the details for the rides at all
To see the details on RBC Meetup, you must have a Meetup account and "request to join" RBC Meetup. Once you have established a Meetup account, go to RBC Meetup and click the Request to join button. It may take up to 24 hours to approve, so don’t wait until you’re ready to attend a ride. You only need to do this once.
I can’t see the details for the routes when I click on the rides in the RBC Meetup emails
You must be logged into RBC Meetup on the device that you are using in order to click on ride details in the emails. It’s best to stay logged into RBC Meetup on all the devices that you use to access the ride information.
I’m getting too many emails from RBC Meetup!/I am not getting any emails from RBC Meetup!
Read the information located in the Notification Settings. The instructions differ depending on whether you are on the desktop, mobile, or the app. “Editing my email settings” allows you to choose the type and the frequency of emails that you receive. You can unsubscribe to all of them or to some of them. If you are using the app, you can have notifications sent to your mobile device. If you enable those notifications (“Editing my push notification settings”), you will no longer receive email notifications.
Thanks for RSVPing and posting communication related to rides! It’s so helpful to attendees and those considering going. Often the first few RSVPs “get the ball rolling” for a ride.
