[BBTC Ride_calendar] Bonneville stuff
by Andrew McCool 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

BBTC, First let me thank everyone who came out to the General Membership Meeting. We had a good turnout, had lots of food and festivities, and got some positive insight. Those of you who couldn't make it, we missed you. Next, Is anyone thinking about going to RAGBRI this year? I have gotten a couple of emails from interested parties. This would count for club miles if enough people go. Last, I have a flat ride this Sunday to the lake, please come if you can. It is easy to cut it short if you are self suficiant. I would love to see "The poachers club" for this one. Thanks folks, see you soon McCool --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Little Red Riding Hood
by Penny Perkins 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

BBTC, I just received this e-mail from one of our LRRH riders. This puts all the hard work bbtc members do to make this ride such a success in a great perspective. If you have not signed up to volunteer and be a part of this ride...you are missing out on a great opportunity to make a contribution. Thanks, Penny Perkins Thanks for organizing this ride to support breast cancer survivors. I come from a family with a history of breast cancer. My older sister found a lump in her breast while tending children about 20 years ago. She felt a sore spot when lifting the children and had it checked up on. It was a malignant cancer lump. She had a lumpectomy, lymph glands removed and radiation. She went for 17 years thinking she had beat it. Then she found another lump in the same breast. She had her breast removed, then found two more lumps, did Chemotherapy and radiation which shrunk the lumps, and is now one year past the treatments and is doing fine so far. Her pet scans have come out clear so far. We pray for her all the time. She is leading a normal life and very grateful for every passing day. My mother had cancer found in a routine mammogram about 12 years ago. She had a lumpectomy and radiation which has cured her so far. She is turning 88 this August. Myself and my daughter have both had a nonmalignant tumor removed. As you can see, I have hereditary cancer in my family and therefore, I have my yearly mammogram and am doing fine so far. I am proud and happy to ride for the Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride supporting the fight against Breast Cancer. My group that are riding just started last year and we are doing it again this year with some riders joining us for the fun of it. We are a group of ladies, mostly over 50 years old and we call ourselves the "Hot Buff Women" and we love to do active things together to prove that we can still do it! We have some younger gals joining us who have heard about the ride and expressed interest. Our motto is "the more the merrier". We also love it when some of our daughters join us. We had two daughters last year and may have several more daughters join us again this year. Thank you for providing a ride for just women and a good cause and for making it a fun ride for a bunch of little old ladies. Marcia Moon 3111 Celeste Way ` SLC Ut 84109 801-486-1794

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Steve Zinik's Crash
by Shari Zinik 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Thanks to Shari's campaign after my accident, the City Water Department has fixed the road hazard I hit on 2700 East at 3120 South in the northbound lane. The road was repaved about a year ago which left some recessed man holes that were never fixed until last week. My accident happened on March 12th at approximately 3:30 pm. I was riding northbound on 2700 East at 3120 South when I hit a recessed water main man hole that put me in the hospital for three days with a collapsed lung, a broken collar bone, and a badly bruised hip. A good Samaritan who saw me wreck gave me a ride home. There was another bicyclist behind me, who I did not know, that witnessed my crash. Unfortunately, I did not get their names. If anybody has heard anyone mention that they saw my fall, please let me know so I can thank them. I would like to find that other cyclist somehow. I need a witness to help me make a claim. Sincerely: Steve Zinik

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Team BBTC Jerseys and possible matching shorts
by Brent W. 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hi all, We are looking to run A pace, B pace and C pace teams during some of our club rides with an emphasis on each practicing different pacelines, areas of sprinting, climbing, recovery, etc. If you would like to participate in one of these teams please let me know which team is of interest to you? Please understand, team participation is not mandatory at club rides. I'm pretty close to having the Team Bonneville (BBTC) jerseys finalized. I'm trying to come up with an estimate on how many jerseys, sizes preferred and how many of you are planning on getting one(or more)? I have a sponsor (Innovamed Inc.) that has put up a substantial amount to cut our price per jersey down. Our cost looks to be between $20-30 after the sponsor's money. I'm hoping these jerseys will be worn at all of the clubs marquee rides (Super Series, Mini-Me, SYWTRAC, etc..) as well as Major rides (Cactus Hugger, Tour De Cure, Lotoja etc..) and of course any others. Many have voiced an opinion as to wanting matching shorts. Shorts will run an additional $45-50. If you would respond promptly to this e-mail and also let me know whether or not you would be interested in shorts it would be greatly appreciated. I believe we will greatly improve the club's exposure with this and also improve our cycling. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, Brent Williams-Team BBTC coordinator
