Some members rely on the printed schedules and information. To facilitate printing .pdf files of schedules can be accessed from dedicated print buttons on each schedule page. Please be aware that the printed information is not updated as rides are changed, added or cancelled at a latter date. It is recommended that members refer to the website for up-to-date information. Last minute changes are generally e-mailed to members but this is not always the case.
See the "Events and Tours" section for exciting non-club events.

Notes from the Webmaster:
- I am happy to e-mail notices to club members about ride or hike changes. Simply send your notice to me, exactly as you want it to be sent to members, at spfldcyclonauts@gmail.com, and I will transmit it at my earliest opportunity. Please do not expect me to create or edit your notice since I don't know what you are trying to say.
- A mobile friendly version of the website can be accessed from your smartphone. This is a convenient way to carry an up-to-date schedule or photo gallery around in your pocket. You can access the website on your phone through your web browser, the same way that you do on your computer (ie type www.cyclonauts.com into the browser address bar). Navigation to schedules, club photos, etc. is through the navigation bars at the upper left of the website screen.
Hint - you can add a cyclonaut.com icon to your home screen by opening the menu bar at the bottom of the website screen and selecting "add to home screen" (iOS devices). Then just tapping on the icon will bring up the website. Be aware that accessing the website when not on wifi might incur cell provider data charges.
