This page has all the instructions you need to access and use our team Google calendar.

You can access and use our calendar in a few different ways. Here is a brief description of each method, and then below are some specific directions on how to connect to it in your own calendar apps, etc.

 

ACCESS METHODS

  1. Use this URL/Link to access the calendar directly: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=cedarvalleymtb%40gmail.com&ctz=America%2FDenver For iphone users, use this link: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/cedarvalleymtb%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics

  2. See the calendar on our team website (syncs): https://www.cedarvalleymtb.com/calendar.html

  3. See it embedded here in our wiki: TEAM CALENDAR

  4. You can access the link to it in Slack by typing in the words, “team calendar” or just “calendar” in the chat - a bot will pop a response with the link. Now, if you need to do that frequently, or you don’t want to clutter chat with that, you can actually send yourself a direct message (find your name in the Direct Messages area) and it works in there too - then only you see it.

  5. In Slack, in the #general channel, we have pinned one of those bot responses in the channel. To access the pins, you can go to the top of the channel page and find that little pin icon. When you click on that, it will pop up all the pinned posts, including that one with the calendar link!

You may want to find an easy way to find and use our calendar. To do this, you have the following options:

  1. Add the team calendar to your own google calendar.
