Overview

Some of our rides repeat weekly or monthly, but have different routes and/or leaders for each occurrence. These can be created as repeating rides or as multiple individual events.

If you want to use a repeating event, then you can create a repeating placeholder ride with a generic description. If you want individual rides you can create a single ride and use the Copy feature (steps 3 and 4) to create future identical rides.

In either case, edit the future rides when the information is known, being mindful of the restrictions on timing. If you are adding or changing the route and description, consider using the Replace feature to populate the ride details.

Replace

The Replace feature is very similar to the Copy feature, except it does not create a new ride in the schedule. Rather, it replaces some of the details of a ride being edited with those from another. Specifically, it replaces the Title, Route, Start Location, Rating, and Description. It does not change the dates, times, pre-registration, or leaders of the ride being edited, but you can make those changes yourself.

First find the ride you want to copy

1. Start the Ride Listing Tool.
2. Click on the Search button in the toolbar.
3. Enter search criteria and browse through the results until you find the ride you want to use.
4. On the ride detail page, take note of the rideID number displayed in the upper right corner of the page.

Then edit the placeholder ride

1. Still in the Ride Listing Tool click on My Rides.
2. Click on the Edit Ride button next to the placeholder ride.
3. Click on the Replace button at the top right corner of the edit page.
4. Put the rideID noted above in the field and click Replace.
5. Review the information on the edit page. Edit the leaders or other details if needed. When it is correct, click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
