Using the Club Tread Schedule

This document provides a brief introduction to some of the features used in the Club Tread's online schedule of events.

Additions, changes and cancellations

Events are frequently added, changed or cancelled after the schedule has gone to print. These changes will be shown on the online schedule (provided the webmaster is informed of them). Each revised event will have an icon beside it indicating the type of change. For information as to the nature of the change place your cursor over the gif and a brief description of the change will appear.

Keeping Informed of Changes to the Schedule

To keep informed of changes to the schedule enter your email address in the "Be notified of page updates" box near the top right of the schedule page. Complete the details on the "ChangeDetection" registration page. This will cause the ChangeDetection service to send you an email whenever the schedule page is updated.

Attending an Event

When you see an event you would like to attend either call the coordinator or, if their name appears as a link, send them an email. More information on attending events can be found here. Note: All participants must sign a Liability waiver.

Event ratings

In general most day hikes will be rated. Some time ago Club Tread rated the common hikes we do. Coordinators are free to use their own ratings on hikes (for example if they plan on doing a non-standard route). The coordinator's rating, if specified, will be the one used on the schedule. For a description of the ratings see our rating definition page.

Backpacking trips are never rated. You should be in good shape to participate in one of these events. Carrying a fully loaded backpack along a trail is much more difficult than day hiking the same trail (but there are benefits as well).

Cycling events are always coordinator rated.

Trail descriptions

Where the Club has descriptions of the trails these descriptions will be linked to the event names. To obtain more information on the trail click the link.
