I think it needs a cleaner look and feel.  I think it should have a better menu.  I think it needs more intuitive.

Very excited to provide input......but when I tried the link I got a "Page not found. Error 404" . Nor could I find anything under Member Forums section regarding website overhaul. All of which pretty much parallels my experience trying to find ride maps the last few years.
Anyway maybe you could pass along my observation that,  Ride. Maps. Are. Too. Hard. To. Find.
Maybe I'll come to more rides if I can find them

We need ride leaders to be able to post ride updates on the fly. I.E, because of storms will there still be a ride tonight? 

We need access to people's actually phone#/email as opposed to their emergency contact. 

I also thought detailed info about each ride seemed a little wanky. I.E, where the start time and the maps are. 

The slideshow of pictures is WONDERFUL! The weather update in the left hand corner is nice. Having updates in the upper middle area is right where it should be. 

It has been the same picture in the header ribbon for years. It's a great photograph, no doubt, but it has run it's course and is now quite dry.

I would like to see the ride calendar and weekly ride information more prominently displayed and easier to navigate. In particular information about individual ride days. The site is not very mobile device friendly. I do like the registration process for events it’s very easy

Below are my observations and thoughts:

• First and foremost, finding/viewing routes, starting times, etc., should be the easiest thing to do -- like on the home page.
• While I like the photos on the home page, they take up too much real estate — I forget sometimes there is MORE to the home page than at first blush.
• Consider standardizing weekday ride pages.
• Mobile phone friendly.
• A "Dashboard" approach like Garmin Connect or Ride with GPS work well for me.
• I suspect Club News has few hits. 
• Most of the forums are hardly ever used.  I only use "Advocacy."
  
• I frequently use Members Only > Members Directory.
• Rides Info > Starting Locations is useful, especially so for newbies.
  
• Except for Sunday Rides, the CTC Calendar is not useful to me.
• Sending a message from a Ride Leader to the club that a ride has been cancelled is arcane.
• Some examples of too much complexity
  
• • The "Rides Info and Ride Leader" page is redundant information and must be manually maintained in sync with each weekday page.
  • There is a list of Leadership Council members under Members Only > Leadership Council, and another under "Contact Us."  The lists are inconsistent.
  • There are two different versions of a ride waiver / release of liability on the website.
  • Some links open in the same window and some open a separate window -- inconsistent or on purpose?
  • Found a reference to "the club's list server" on the "Ride with Us" page.
    
  • There are two links to Sunday-In-June on the "Ride with Us" page but one is broken.
    

I could care less about: 

• Members Only > Donations (I did not know it was there until today).
  
• Members Only > Member Help Files (few people take the time to read help documents).
  
• Non-CTC Touring Calendar
• Weather gadget
