10 Mar '07

Hi everyone! Sunday morning's ride is marked for both the 30 and 60 mile options, there is a slight modification to the usual route due to road construction but Farmington looks great this time of year. Gentile Street has pavement again so we dont have to get our bikes muddy. and the 30 gets to ride part of the Legacy Highway. Remember to set your clocks so you wont be late Don W. minister of road markings

[BBTC Ride_calendar] BBTC - What's happening this week!!
by Rob Y. 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Hey BBTC, I hope you got out and rode this past week. Although the temps were on the colder side of the thermometer, the sun was bright and the skies blue. And this week the temps will be warmer so get out and ride! What do you think of the new calendar layout? Eric and Raleigh have done a great job in creating it. They have put in some quality time developing the new format and I know for me it makes for an easy view to see what rides are available any day of the month, Kudos guys! While Mr. McCool had done a great job with the newsletter this past year, I have to say Jeanne is taking it to the next level. Way to go Jeanne, and WOW the pdf version really stands out with all the great color, and it really is nice seeing the photos in color and clarity. Our in house printer Vanessa deserves major accolades for her time and patience in publishing our newsletter every month, keep it up Vanessa. By the way, I bet she would love some extra hands each month when it comes time to fold all those newsletters that we receive in the mail. Anyway, this week's weather is looking fantastic for riding, so get out and enjoy! Pedal Fast and Laugh Often! Rob Y.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Upcoming rides
by Don and Mary Margaret WILLIAMS 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

So what happens when you schedule a ride for 15-30 miles and a temperature of 45 degrees, and the day dawns clear with bright sun and only 35 degrees? Why 10 people show up of course! The first warm-up to prepare for the Winter Escape in 2 weeks was a success. So this coming Sunday is a 30 60 miler and the temperatures are supposed to be much warmer. Daylight savings time kicks in and with a 9:00 AM start, that is really early. Were planning for food to be accessible at the turn-around. Tom Coffey has provided scouting for impassable roads on our regular routes. So be there Sunday at the Weather Bureau. 9:00 AM, 30 miles to Centerville., 60 miles to the Layton metropolitan area, and back. Also, If youre not riding in Mesquite in 2 weeks the first Superseries comes up April 21 from the Bountiful Area to Willard Bay . A ride leader is needed to kick the series off with a bang! Shorter leg options can be available on this route as well. Avoid the rush - sign up now Don W.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Ride Leaders needed
by Don and Mary Margaret WILLIAMS 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Okay it s official - the Superseries Schedule hit the streets last week in the current issue of your newsletter. As of now several SS events have already been spoken for, but there's more work to do. Marked routes on a free club ride are a great way to introduce BBTC to cyclists everywhere, so now we need a couple of ride Leaders to start the season off. Willard Bay rolls Saturday April 21 - from the Bountiful Area to Willard and back. A ride leader is needed. The Springville Nephi 100 on May 5th will have 30, 60 and 100 mile legs combined with the Mini-me events. Ride leader(s) are needed for at least 2 of the mileage legs. The snow is deep tonight, but the sun will be abundant by the time we roll off on April 21 - e-mail Eric Unck or me today to volunteer for one of these great events. Don W.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Cactus Hugger 2007
by Tom Coffey 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Update on this year's route. Start in Ivins city park and the basis will be the clockwise loop out through the town of Gunlock to Veyo and back to Ivins through Snow Canyon State Park (42-mile distance). For the 65-mile distance and the 100-mile distance we will take a turn (old Hwy 91) up, over and down Utah Hill to the Arizona border. Then we'll return to the "Y" and make a left back onto the loop. At Veyo the 100-milers will take a spur north on Hwy 18 to Pine Valley. Practice your hills and bring your granny gear. The long course provides about 9000 feet of vertical and hopefully some good warm weather. Tom Coffey

[BBTC Ride_calendar] traveling to St George this week?
by Don and Mary Margaret WILLIAMS 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

for those headed south this coming weekend for some well needed mileage - please be advised of the following: Road construction just south of Bluff street has traffic backed up for miles - so try the St George Blvd /chuck-A-Rama exit as your absolute last exit if coming from the north If it snows there are 3 passes between Beaver and Cedar City that are a pain - plan on additional time - speeds were as low as 15 mph yesterday morning. If it doesnt snow - the sheriff has a favorite spot on the huge downhill just south of Beaver please watch your speed. Don W.
