Submit Event to Ride Calendar

There are separate submission forms for submitting an event to the print and online version of the Michigan Ride Calendar. Please make sure to use both links below if you want your event to appear on our website and also in the printed version of the publication. We hope to streamline the submission process in the future so you will only need to fill out one form. We apologize about the extra step. A helpful tip is to type out your event details in a seperate Word document so you can easily copy and paste the text into both forms.
Note: The deadline for inclusion in the printed version is October 31st. There is no deadline for submitting to the online version.

We apologize about the extra step. We hope to streamline the process for the future. A helpful tip is to type out your event details in a seperate Word document so you can easily copy and paste the text into both forms. You can submit to the printed version at:

Please consider supporting LMB by participating in our $1 Per Rider program. In 2009 more than 30 rides pledged to donate $1 to the LMB for every rider that participated in their events. We are extremely grateful to these donating rides for their generous contributions to our efforts to promote bicycling and the safety of bicyclists on the roadways in Michigan. These dollars add up quickly, providing LMB with much needed funds that help with our education and advocacy efforts.

Recognizing the importance of these donating rides LMB does all that we can to specifically promote $1 Per Rider events. $1 Per Rider events are specially highlighted in the print version of the Ride Calendar, on our website, magazine, email updates, etc. $1 Per Rider events will be listed first in the Ride Calendar on dates with multiple events.

Additionally, as a 501c3 nonprofit, you will also be able to write off your charitable donation to the fullest extent of the law.

Submit Photos for the Ride Calendar

LMB Photo Submission Guidelines:

Now is your chance for fame and glory as a photographer! More than 50,000 people throughout Michigan and the U.S. may see your Michigan bicycling photos! We are always seeking high quality photos of bicycling in Michigan to help in our efforts of promoting bicycling and the rights of bicyclists on the roadways.

We are not able to pay for photographs but will be delighted to give you photo credit and some complimentary copies of the publication in which your photos appear. When sharing your photos with us you agree that we may use them without any restriction whatsoever to promote biking in Michigan.

Specifications:

• RideWe welcome photos year round but the deadline for the annual Ride Calendar is October 31st.
• All photos MUST be in digital format, preferably JPEG saved at the highest quality. If you atill use film, please scan your images, as we cannot convert negatives.
• Send photos by email or CD-ROM (please clearly write the photographer's name, email and the name of the event directly on the CD-ROM and in the email) You many also now submit photos via our Flickr Ride Calendar Submission Group.
• Be kind to the LMB staff and volunteers...please pre edit your images to pick out your best photos (10 or less is ideal, but if you have more than 10 amazingly great cycling photos feel free to send more.)
• We love big files! Digital photos should be at least 300dpi resolution and 3 x 4 inches in dimension (or the equivalent, i.e. 72dpi at approximately 12 x 16 inches or 150 dpi at 6 x 8 inches) If this is complete gibberish to you, have no worries! We can accept lower resolution images but may not be able to use them for all print purposes. If you don't know how to check your resolution just send them anyways.
• Include your last name in the photo file name (if possible), i.e. Jamison001.jpeg or Jamisontandemriders.jpeg
• Ride and people photos must have a bicycling in Michigan theme so no shots of a Florida ride! We can accept "general bike themed" photos not from Michigan that are not place specific (i.e. close up artful photos of bike components).
• Any cyclists shown actually riding must be wearing a fastened helmet.

Don't forget to let your creativity shine - we are looking for "artsy" and "unusual" bicycle themed photos in addition to "traditional" ride images. Thanks in advance and we look forward to immortalizing your wonderful photos showing off the diversity, challenges, humor and excitement of bicycling in Michigan!
