[BBTC Ride_calendar] BBTC Picnic this Saturday
by Andrew McCool 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Yo Clubbies, Please plan to attend the annual BBTC club picnic this Saturday. We are going to ride, then eat! Don't worry, my wife Erinn is going to help so you won't have to eat food cooked by McCool. If that was the case, we would just have Shot Blocks and instant oatmeal. We will have Hamburgers, brats, and soft drinks. Please bring a yummy dish to share. We will celebrate all the hard work that was done last week for ULCER, and it's tremendous success! Below I have reprinted the gory details from the ride schedule. Parking is limited so if you can carpool, ride to the ride, or ride to the ride and meet your spouse that might help. See you there! McCool Saturday Aug 18 08:00 AM Picnic ride, Long version 60/A-B/2/c Long version of the picnic ride. A-B pace with climbing. Up Emigration, Up Big Mountain and back down, out Wasatch south and back.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Final So You Want to Ride a Century Ride tomorrow
by Lyle Phelps 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Attached is a cue sheet for the season's 10th and final SYW2RAC Ride. The ride is listed for an 8:00 am start tomorrow at Draper Park (12600 S 1300 E). Please note that the miles listed on the cue sheet are approximations to give an idea of the relative distances between turns and landmarks. Just as the 75-miler was two weeks ago, it is essentially a figure 8 with a northern loop in West and South Jordan and a southern loop in Utah County with 14600 S linking the two. The addition for the 80-miler is that instead of turning east on 7800 S from 3200 W, we continue north to 5400 W, then east to the South Jordan Canal Rd (just west of I-215). That road comes out 6200 S and we go east to 2200 W, turn south, and we're back to the 75-mile route at 2200 W & 7800 S. With ULCER coming up next week, many may be looking for shorter options to save their legs. Consider doing either the northern loop portion and returning or the southern loop portion and returning. Thank you to all those who have participated with the SYW2RAC rides. I hope they have been helpful to meet your goals, and I hope to see you at ULCER next week as well. If you haven't registered, do so quickly. If you have, bring some friends along to volunteer.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] ULCER Pre-ride. Sunday. August 5. 9:00 am
by TIM SHEA 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

To all of those riding the ULCER pre-ride on Sunday with McCool, greetings. I hope you enjoy the course that Jerry Bergosh, Bob Feldott and I have planned for you. We've tried to maximize the time on the lake front, which is mostly very pleasant. Even on the west side, in a desolate sort of way. I've attached the ULCER cue sheet. The map is at: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1024121<http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1024121>. If the map doesn't open to about 2/3 of the window, click the refresh button. Click and drag to move the map. Use the slide to zoom. The ride calendar says 100 miles, but this one is officially 111. Epic. The cue sheet lists all of the rest stops for the real thing, but only the parks will be available for the pre-ride. And there are a few parks on the course that we are not using for official rest stops. I'll look for stores when I paint the course on Saturday. In addition, Mickey Applebaum has once again stepped up to drive sag. So we'll have some rolling support. That will be especially helpful on the 30+ mile stretch on the west side of Utah Lake. Can you carry a porta-potty, Mickey? At the moment, the weather report is for hot and humid. Stay hydrated. Stay fed. Maybe lather up with a little deet as well as sunscreen. We'll meet at Electric Park at Thanksgiving Point at 9:00. Drive I-15 to Exit 284. Drive west on SR 92 to the light at Thanksgiving Way. Turn left. Drive 0.7 miles and turn right at the large Thanksgiving Point marquee. The parking lots for Electric Park likely will be closed, so park at the curb. Hope to see you there. Tim
