Raleigh: We went to the Bike Swap a little later in the day, and talked with the people at the Salt Lake Marathon both - very nice people. She gave me numerous sign up sheets, which she had discounted to $25.00 for the bike swap. Is this something we should pass on?

[BBTC Ride_calendar] SL Marathon Update
by Raleigh Fehr 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

All, Hopefully this will be the last update on this. I now have a downloadable pdf form that you can print and register for the SL Marathon with. I have posted it on the club website so just go to the main page and click on the "Click HERE..." to get it. Two items of note: First, in order to get the $5 discount you must have your registration in before the 19th (9 days from now). Simply specify BBTC on item 15 on the form to claim it. This means club members not on the mailing list will probably miss out (I'm working on it). Second, they have stipulated that "There is a limit of 3,000 bikes allowed on this tour." I honestly don't think this is an issue but if they get that many riders it will be the biggest cycling event staged to date in Utah that I'm aware of. If anyone has questions, write me. Raleigh

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [MBAC] Airport Bicycle Path Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 12:38:06 -0700 From: Bob Springmeyer <bobspring(a)bonnevilleresearch.com> To: <mbac-list(a)aros.net> On Monday afternoon I sent the following note out to: Rick Graham, Public Services Director for Salt Lake City rick.graham(a)slcgov.com Mark Ruff, Maintenance Supervisor for Golf, SLC <Mark.Ruff(a)slcgov.com> Tim Campbell, Airport Director SLC <Tim.Campbell(a)slcgov.com> Tim then forwarded my note on to: Pete Higgins, Pete.higgins(a)slcgov.com Yesterday the BBTC held a Saltair Ride and the route through Airport and Wing Point had been swept. I have sent a note thanking them for such a terrific response, and I would suggest that everyone else should consider doing the same. Please also include or copy Mayor Rock Anderson - mayor(a)slcgov.com Best, Bob Springmeyer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gentlemen, I'm not sure where the jurisdiction lies, so I am sending this note to all of you. The bicycle path extending west from the Airport through the Wing Point Golf Course and running to the International Center badly needs a spring sweeping. It is littered with construction debris, landscaping materials and gravel. This is a very popular path for recreational cyclists, and the next organized ride on this path to Saltair is scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon March 9th, Thank you all very much for all you do. Bob Springmeyer I rode the route yesterday afternoon and it had been swept. Great response! Terrific team! Thanks, Bob Springmeyer _______________________________________________ mbac-list mailing list mbac-list(a)aros.net http://www.aros.net/mailman/listinfo/mbac-list

Club Members! Just one more week until the April ride schedule is finalized. With the change to daylight savings time in April...afterwork rides are possible. So think about scheduling some evening rides. We could also still use some weekend rides. Thanks, Penny

There is still no mail in form available but the online registration now has a dropdown entry to enter the BBTC in. This will automatically give you your $5 discount when you register online. It appears that this will only be available until the 19th of the month so pass the word around to anyone not on the mailing list. Raleigh

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Salt Lake Marathon Update
by Raleigh Fehr 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

I was contacted by the SL Marathon people regarding the group discount. What we need are 10 or more riders in the group and then register everyone in one lump sum with one check. The price will be $30 per rider instead of $35. The only current problem with that is there is no printable registration form available yet. We will have to have the money and forms in before April 15th. I'll put something in the club newsletter for those who don't get email and want to join us. I'l also post the registration form on the website as soon as it's available. In the mean time write me to let me know that you want to be part of the group. Raleigh

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Fw: Looking to gain tandem experience in Weber County area
by Penny Perkins 01 Mar '05

----- Original Message ----- From: John LeCain To: ultra(a)list.pragdata.com Cc: jplecain(a)comcast.net Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2005 1:26 PM Subject: Looking to gain tandem experience in Weber County area Just joined the ULTRA List! My wife and I would like to give tandem riding a go. We both ride single (I more, she less) and are looking to rent/ride a used tandem for a few rides to see if it's something we'll enjoy. I'm 6' and Linda is 5' 4" (thinking we'd buy an X/M or L/S but could ride a Medium or M/S). Not looking for anything fancy--an older T200, Burley, RT1000 or Santana would be great...and we would insist on the owner holding an appropriate damage deposit. We would also consider buying if size and price were right. If you or someone you know can help us get on a tandem, please email or call.
