KC Trail Conditions Are Just A Tweet Away

took this from Earthriders forum: Nice to know before you head out of Joetown for a ride..

So, you’re stuck in rush hour traffic, hoping to get out on your favorite trails before dark, and you’re wondering what the trail conditions are like?

Well, wonder no more – Earth Riders MTB Club has hooked up a Twitter feed to the trail conditions information they provide on their forums (http://forums.earthriders.com) for all the metro area trails.

Now, when the trail status is updated on the forums, KcTrailsStatus will tweet the conditions, for example:

#SMP CLOSED: Not Rideable (ptooi)

To get connected, go to http://twitter.com and follow KcTrailsStatus – its direct URL is http://twitter.com/KcTrailsStatus. As with any Twitter account, you can subscribe to an RSS feed, elect to receive SMS messages, etc.

Laramie Enduro registration is now open. You guys should sign up. Your welcome to crash on my couch/floor when your in the area. The race is going to be a blast and they even have a single speed category!

Hey, just spoke to Rob (above) and this sounds fun...
Is anyone interested? I might be.

Lansen said this race was BRUTAL, so it sounds fun to me!

Head out on Friday, stay in Ft. Collins. Race on Sat. Head back on Sun...

I think it's already full now but I know the guy who runs the race. If you make up your mind soon I can probably pull a few strings.

My only question is what is a "tweet"??? Twitter is what birds do, right?
