| Rider Map: find other riders I don't know how successful this will be, but I am going to try anyway!
I have set up a rider's map that is actually integrated into a forum, where you can post up your location, and you can also see the location of other riders. The idea is that you can figure out who is close by you and meet new riders. Clicky. Yes, you have to register, and you can only have one location (otherwise pranksters will fill it with crap). You can edit your location as you please, however. You can also take a picture of a nearby landmark and post the image so that people can get an idea of what to look for once they get close to your location.
I am putting this in the western region because I live in San Antonio (well, right now the military has me living in Korea), but I will be moving to Glendale next summer, and I would like to get an idea of where all of the riders are at.
As a note of caution: if you have a stalker, don't pin point your location right down to your front door! Instead, consider using a nearby gas station where you wouldn't mind meeting others...

| Re: Rider Map: find other riders That's because no one uses it.  We added links to each post, and to the user Profile Page that links to your map location, so maybe more members will see/use it. (See earth button below.) |

| Re: Rider Map: find other riders Cool. Now that I have an updated computer that supports this kind of stuff, I was able to put in my information ... well, at least the major cross streets.
Thanks for updating with the linky.  |
