There are a number of people who contribute to the development of the ride schedule published in each month's Pedal Patter.

Road Captain

The Road Captain reports to the ExCom and coordinates the efforts of the Ride Coordinators. This person monitors the overall development of the ride schedule and ensures that everything is running smoothly. The Road Captain recruits new ride coordinators to replace retiring coordinators. He/she also writes a monthly column in the Pedal Patter to inform members of ride-related issues. The Road Captain has historically been responsible for ride leader awards, the annual list of 5.000+ mile riders, and a variety of other miscellaneous functions.

Ride Coordinators

These volunteers represent one of the most important groups in the club. They recruit ride leaders for weekends and holidays, and then develop the resulting ride schedules. There are two Ride Coordinators for each ride classification level- one for DC/Maryland and another for Virginia. The Midweek Coordinator coordinates the Club's midweek/evening rides.

Ride Schedule Editor

This is one of the most challenging jobs in the Club. The Ride Schedule Editor collects the rides schedule developed by each coordinator and assembles the rides into the final form for publication in the Pedal Patter. The Editor works closely with our publisher throughout the publication process.

Pride Coordinator

The Post Ride Information, Distribution, and Evaluation (PRIDE) Coordinator maintains the PPTC's completed sign-up sheets for at least two years for insurance and historical purposes. He/She forwards copies of noteworthy sign-up sheets to the "On The Road" editor for their monthly Pedal Patter column, provides names of potential new ride leaders to ride coordinators, and forwards new or updated cue sheets to the Cue Sheet Librarian.

Sign-Up Sheet Coordinator

This volunteer must be especially well-organized and attentive to detail. This person obtains the monthly ride information from the Ride Schedule Editor, and provides ride leaders with sign-up sheets for each ride they are leading during that month. In some months, this can mean as many as 160 sign-up sheets to be labeled and mailed. The sign-up sheets are then returned to the PRIDE Coordinator after the ride.

The Cue Sheet Librarian

The Cue Sheet Librarian maintains a repository of Club cue sheets and maps that are supplied directly by ride leaders by the PRIDE Coordinator, or special event organizers. The Librarian helps ride leaders identify potential rides (by ride start and distance) and offers a list of existing cue sheets.
