E-List

SCU maintains a self-serve email list that members use to share information about rides, social events, and bicycling related topics. Members can add and remove themselves from the list. 

NOTE: To reduce spam, e-mail addresses on this page will not appear as live links unless JavaScript is enabled on your web browser. If you do not have JavaScript enabled, please manually type the addresses into the "To" field of your message.

To signup for our email list, send a blank message to the following address from the email address you wish to subscribe with:

Alternatively, navigate to http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/scu/ and click on "join this group".  The same site allows you to edit your account and also unsubscribe from the list.  Or, you can unsubscribe by sending a blank message to:

If you have difficulty doing this, please send a message to the list moderator at the following address:

To post messages to the list, you must be subscribed.  After successfully subscribing, you can post a message by mailing your message to:

One advantage of Yahoo! Groups is that we have four options for mail delivery:

  1. Individual e-mails - Send individual e-mail messages.
  2. Daily digest - Combine the day's mail into one message. Receive no more than one e-mail per day from SCU.
  3. Special notices - Only send important update e-mails from the group moderator.
  4. No e-mail - Don't send any e-mail. Messages can be read on the group's web site.

Options 2, 3, and 4 let you stay informed without being inundated with messages. You can easily change your SCU E-list preferences. Log onto Yahoo! Groups and click on Edit Membership. To use this and other E-list web site features, you must set up a Yahoo profile.

List Usage Guidelines

The following list of usage guidelines was prepared by Leigh Weber (list manager) and ratified by the Executive Committee. Since the email list is not moderated, your compliance with these guidelines will ensure that the list is not abused and maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio. Thanks!

  1. The SCU E-List is for SCU club activities and cycling related posts. Please post ride reports, upcoming rides and highlights of club activities. We all want to find out about all the great things going on!

  2. Messages should be short, text only, and to the point. If you have photos, long articles, or other lengthy material, do NOT put it into your message. You may send a link to the material or offer to mail it to anyone who is interested.

  3. The Subject line should warn if the message is not of general interest. Examples:  
    FOR SALE:  Trek xxxx
    HIKING:  Sunday, 4/29
    SOCIAL:  Bowling Night

  4. Please REPLY to the sender (our list default), NOT to the list, unless you're certain that several hundred people need your reply.

  5. Do NOT flame or argue with people on the list. Contact the person privately or ask the List Manager to deal with the situation.

  6. Do NOT send 'TEST' messages.

  7. Do NOT send chain letters, virus warnings, good Samaritan notices, e-mail surveys, etc. They are NOT club activities, clog email systems, and waste everyone's time.

  8. DO pause before you send an email. Does it say what you mean? Could it give offense to someone? Does it follow the rules? Change it BEFORE you send it!

  9. Contact the list manager, or any EC member, if you have questions or suggestions.

  10. Attachments to messages are blocked. If you try to send a message with an attachment, your message will be distributed without the attachment.

  11. "Sign" your messages with your first and last name. Do NOT hide behind a screen name or alias.

  12. Please do NOT "Reply All" in response to junk mail on the E-list. Your reply just sends another off-topic message to the everyone on the list.

  13. Announcements for dating services, chat rooms, and adult entertainment are prohibited. The senders of these types of messages will be banned from the list.
