Preface

After a ride takes place, ride leaders have three choices for submitting the ride data to the Ride Leader Credits officer.

1. Use the fully electronic sign-in and submittal process. This is the most common. It also saves some work for our volunteer RLC officer.
2. Email a PDF file created by scanning a completed paper sign-in sheet to ride.sheets. Details are on this page.
3. Mail a completed paper sign-in sheet to the address at the bottom of the sheet.

If using one of the options involving paper sign-in sheets, it is important that the ride details (title, date, leaders, etc) at the top of the page are legible. Don't carry the sign-in sheet unprotected in your sweaty jersey pocket, where the ink will run and the paper will dissolve.

PDF Submittal by Email

• The only file format that will be accepted is PDF. Do not send JPEG files or other image formats. They will be rejected.
• Create your PDF file by scanning the paper sign-in sheet after the ride. This can be done using a desktop document scanner (hardware) or a scanning app that uses the camera on a mobile device.
• Whichever method you use, learn to do it properly. Practice a few times before your first submittal. Your first attempts will probably be lousy.
• The PDF file must be in landscape mode, sized to match the paper. There shouldn't be extra space outside the margins of the paper sheet. Don't submit a sheet that is portrait oriented.
• If you have multiple pages for one ride, they should be combined into a single PDF file. Your scanning software can do this for you.
• If you have multiple rides, submit each one as a separate email.
