[DVBC] ride routes

[Drew Knox]

If the goal is to help the club, then putting our club's ride leaders'
routes on Bikely is not the best way to go. A much better value for the club
would be making and posting cue sheets on the club website. Posting on
DVBC would provide a unique value proposition that attracts interested
riders to the club's primary public interface which in turn helps boost
regular ride participation and awareness, drive membership, and increase
event attendance. Putting the same information on another website
potentially undermines that unique value that we can offer.

Creating cue sheets is a good and valuable project. We have
started discussions and are planning a major revision of the club's
website on which cue sheets will have a prominent place. Let's just try to
maximize the return on effort and benefit to the club.
