by Rob Y. 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hey BBTC!! Pretty slow week coming up. The weather hasn't been what it should this time of year but it looks like one more week and we should be heading back towards more seasonal temperatures. In the mean time, the skiing has been excellent lately with 4 storms in the past 5 days and about 4 more still coming. It looks like Craig picked the right day to host a play day at the canyons. It looks like Tuesday will be the best shot at sun for the week. Also, a reminder that ride calendar postings for April are due by the fast approaching 15th. And we are still in need of ride leaders for the super series rides all rides listed with the road captain as ride leader are open for ride leaders. Thanks to everyone that have stepped up so far and to everyone willing to step up and support the club rides and events. See you on the road and on the slopes!!

Kim Haggin and I dicided it'll be too nice not to ride, so.... Sunday Mar 5 01:00 PM Show-N-Go Antelope Island -- Garr Ranch 40/A-B-C/4/b Enjoy the sunshine--Ride across the causeway, down to Garr Ranch and back, around the beaches/Visitors Center and then back across the causeway. There is a fee for bicycles, so bring money or if you have a pass, bring that along. People with passes can get 8 bicycles on the island so most of the time there are enough people with passes that we don't even have to pay the fee. Meet at: Take the Antelope Island/Syracuse exit from I-15. Turn west on Antelope and proceed to the Island. We will meet in the parking lot just outside the gate.
