About Club Email and GroupMe

Club Announcements + Email Newsletter

If you are an active member of the Harpeth Bike Club, you will receive weekly email announcements regarding club events (rides, social events, etc). If you are an active member but not receiving email:

  1. Check your spam filter

  2. Go to Membership and make sure that we have your correct email address

  3. Check that you did not unsubscribe from our mailing list.

Announcements are for official bike club communications — ride and event information — sent to active paid members of the Harpeth Bike Club.

HBC GroupMe

Additionally, the HBC hosts an open GroupMe community, available to members and non-members alike.

GroupMe is a free group messaging app that allows those with common interests to chat and share info by topic.

10 reasons to join the HBC GroupMe:

  1. Get the latest updates on HBC rides. Ride leaders will post any route changes, updates, and last minute cancellations to GroupMe

  2. Learn about "pop up" self-organized rides and events shared by members

  3. Find friends who enjoy riding offroad, with topics for Mountain Biking and Gravel

  4. Plan group virtual rides on Zwift and Rouvy when the weather doesn’t cooperate

  5. Connect with HBC members for off-bike interests (see the Hiking topic)

  6. Stay safe on a planned group ride. If you are in trouble or lost (or you've lost someone) you can contact groups or individual GroupMe members

  7. Buy/sell/trade bike stuff with other local cycling enthusiasts

  8. Ask for help on any topic from your fellow cyclists

  9. It's better than SMS, you can direct message GroupMe members without needing their phone numbers  

  10. It's free, and open to non-members who need a reason to get started with the HBC
