RATE THE SoCal Organized Rides Directory

[caligurl]

over 2/3's of the links below do not work because all my hard work (making ride threads in a cycling forum, go figure!??!) was deleted.... i'm going to add them back as i have time... but seeings how it took me a whole 8 hour day to initially do them.... be patient and they will be added back and hopefully not deleted this time *mad*

PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING IN HERE! Post your ratings in each individual ratings thread! if you add a new ride thread.... title it: RATE THE (insert name of ride) and pm me the thread link so i can add it to the listing below!!!!!!!!!!


OK.... we started talking about this months ago.... (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=238956).... then mkadam68 brought it up again a couple weeks ago... (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=260077) MErider started a thread... but it includes rider organized and organized threads.... (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=261429) which great... but the original idea was to have ratings of the yearly, paid, organized rides...... plus in another month or two the all rides thread going to be long and cumbersome and hard for people to find the ride they want to know about.... so i came up with an idea.... we'll use her's for "un"orgized rides/rider organized rides, (if she or someone wants, she can split them up with a directory!)... i'll go through her thread and cut and paste the paid organized rides rated thus far, each to their own thread... then in the future we can add a NEW thread per ride... and make this thread a directory. that way when the actual thread disappears off the 1st (or 2nd) page... you can come here and look up the ride you want to read/write about and access the thread.

please use the actual ride rating thread to rate each ride or make a new one if none exists (if you make a new thread PM me the link and i'll add it here!) we'll use ME's example of information to keep them all uniform and it's working! it gets the info we want out there! again..... please don't post your ratings here!

I'm going to sticky this thread and lock it from additional posts. I *think* that should allow Caligurl to update the Original Post with new threads as they come up. If this isn't the case, shoot me a PM and I'll unlock the thread.

Looks like you all have a good lineup of rides this year. I'm going to have to do the same over in the Southwest (or should I say Texas ;)) forum soon for us down south. If I'm lucky maybe I'll be able to arrange for me to be out ya'lls way one of these days for a ride too. :)


**edit**

Ok, well apparently I assumed wrong about the locking thing. :o Leaving it unlocked for updates to the OP only. Enjoy.

How about the Volvo City of Angels Fun Ride?
