Southeast - Bulletin board

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Would it be possible to start a thread of races/rides for the Southeast region in a bulletin board or calendar fashion? I am new to this forum and new to cycling rides and would like to know about rides in the future so as to be able to coordinate work/family issues to be able to participate in ones of interest. It seems that most posts concerning local rides appear in the forum only a few weeks before the ride occurs. I envision posting of rides by forum members that could be formatted in an ongoing calendar so as to be known and planned for by us all. I may have more need than most for this since there is not a bike shop or cycling club in my town, therefore no one to chat with about upcoming rides. I did participate in the 6 Gap last weekend, of which I found out about through this forum. I realize this may be more of a moderator/administrator question, but if the need is out there, let them know and maybe it will happen. Thanks to all for the forum - good reads.

It won't address your request for a solution here, but for NC I watch several sources including a statewide ride list maintained by the NC DOT. Perhaps there are similar lists for your area?

Thanks, Piper C. I flipped over to NC DOT and that is a great source to search. As far as I know, the GA DOT doesn't have such a service, but I am opened to being corrected by anyone in the know.

best wrap-up of upcoming races/events i read is from VeloNews...
here's a link to the mag's monthly calendar, which lists events around the U.S. (and not road-centric, but also including CC, MTB, etc.):
VeloNews calendar page (http://velonews.com/calendar/)
p.s. it would be great if someone could maintain an iCal feed for the events!

Go to the Southern Bicycle League's website (http://www.bikesbl.org) and click on Calendar. They list 99% of the rides in Georgia and the Southeast.
