| How to Add New Rides to the Connecticut Bike Routes Database |
The addition of new rides to the website database is welcome. There are parts of the state that are seriously underrepresented, the Southwest and Northeast Regions in particular.

| Please submit, as attachments to an e-mail, a Ride Description and a Route Sheet in the same format, fonts and font sizes as the rides already on the website, using Microsoft Word. A blank copy of forms to use can be accessed by clicking on the links below. These forms will default to the appropriate fonts. |

| Hint: The Route Sheet form is set up as a table in Microsoft Word with one line per row. Often, the Road Info/Description text will require more than one row. To accomplish this, type as much text as will fit in one row and then move the cursor to the next row in the same table column and continue typing. This may be needed for several rows to complete particularly long Road Info/Description items. Then, in the Format menu select Borders and shading and remove the border lines between the top and bottom of the cue item. Overall, this is easier than using the Merge Cells and Split Cells functions in Word. |

When rides are added to the website database in this fashion they will be identified with yellow shading on the title line of the Route Sheet. It is the responsibility of the ride submitter to ensure that the information on the ride documents is complete and accurate. There is no assurance that the www.ctbikeroutes.org team will be able to check ride the route to verify the accuracy of the ride documents.

Note: Please complete all fields on the Ride Description except the Degree of Difficulty Index.
