How to post a document to Google Docs so that it is accessible to the public.
Despite the current ‘cost of living challenges’ facing all community events, Bike Manawatu is 100% committed to ensuring the 51st year of the Novice Tour – once again provides a safe, fun, competitive cycle racing event.
We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.
If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.
Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.
Irrespective of which model of traffic management/racing is finalised, as with all CNZ/Bike Manawatu events, normal road rules will apply and a full rider briefing confirming the event rules will be provided to all riders prior to the start of each race.
GoogleDocs is a great way to store club documents and records. However getting the sharing settings right is important. I’ve been asked by several people how to make documents available to to the public through our website.
Here is how to upload files for sharing:
1) Login to Google and get to the GoogleDocs screen.
2)Click the upload button
3) Select the privacy. The default is private. Change that to “Public on the web”
4) Drag your file (or files) and drop it in the box (or use the select files link). Click “Start Upload”
Once uploaded you document shows in your documents list
5) To change the sharing or get a link to put in an article, click on the documents folder/sharing column.
