[NMCycling] weekly rides for nmcyling.org?

[David L. Jordan via Bike-racers]

Hawke,

Thanks for organizing this effort.

I am happy to be a point of contact for the Sheriff's ride, not as 
someone who is responsible for it as you mention, but as someone who 
attends regularly and would be happy to provide some information on it.

For information, in general my experience has been that the Sheriff's 
Ride ebbs during the summer race season but it pretty active over the 
winter, especially on a winter Saturday when the weather is good.

This would be The Reaper, The Lobo Ride, and the Sheriff's Ride.  The Sheriff's Ride has a FB page but it has not been updated in about 18 months.

I get an email about every two weeks asking about rides.  I am not a good person to ask as I do not really do many group road rides.

A friend said that there were a few reapers this spring.  I was out for Phil Neis' ATM ride a few weeks ago, which started at the same time and place as the Sheriff's Ride and I did not see another group ride going out.  Maybe some are more spring only rides?

I could put some language like: "This person is not responsible for, nor do they organize this ride, but they occasionally attend and are a good contact to ask if the ride is happening."  Just an email contact, not a phone number would be ok.  I could even hide the email behind a relay service through my email.  It is unpleasant to show up for a ride as an out-of-towner and find that the ride no longer exists.  I have done this.
