• Set the date, start & estimated finish times, choose an event category from over there (or one that fits the ride best)  –>
• Look through the list of event locations & organisers, if it exists then select it.  If it doesn’t then create it.
• Enter a cost if it’s an organised event.
• Enter an “excerpt” – this is a short sentence or 2 to sell the ride

What to include in the event details itself – a good description is essential:

• estimate the distance & duration of the ride
• describe the trail: fireroad, singletrack , moors, rocky, trail centre, any techy sections, is it exposed/wild?  are there water crossings?  how much climbing?
• facilities: is there a cafe stop, will people need to bring extra food & water
• equipment: do people need anything specific? eg. body armour, extra clothing
• sell the ride to your clubmates – what’s great about it?  why do you enjoy it?
• and finally….. no helmet, no ride! non-negotiable.  Do you want to be responsible for a head injury?

Then, click Publish to add the event to the calendar.  It doesn’t create a post on the front page unless you stick one up yourself – if you do, then include a link to the event in the post.
