[BBTC Ride_calendar] Cancel the Bagel Run ride
by Bob Renwick 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

This breaks my heart. The roads are clear enough for a ride but the air isnt. My friend Jack reports that a 1½ hour ride equals about 3 hours of hacking! I need to cancel the Bagel Run ride due to SMOG. Lets try again on the 4th. Bonneville Bicycle <http://www.bbtc.net/index.htm> & Tandem Club Home Thanks, Bob

[BBTC Ride_calendar] BBTC - tired of seeing, smelling and tasting the air you're breathing?
by Rob Y. 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hey BBTC! How about getting out of the smog and into the clean and warm air of the mountains? Craig J, I and some friends are going skiing at the Canyons on Saturday and would like to invite everyone to come join us! I have an early appointment and then we are planning to meet at the top of the gondola at 10:30am. FYI - the best place for lift tickets (if you don't have a pass) is Costco. They are selling Canyons lift tickets for $99 for two passes (you must buy them two at a time and they are good for any day during the season). My phone number is, 801-288-1330, I hope you can join us! Ski Fast and Laugh Often Rob Y.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Channel 5 has finally called it SMOG & it's canceling Friday's Ride
by Mike Hawe 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Last night Channel 5 finally started to call the air we are breathing what it is - SMOG It's unhealthy at the least. Our, savvy & bright, elected politicians want the Department of Environmental Services to take a budget cut next year (All other departments are to get increases). How do we continually elect & reelect these brain dead individuals? Call, write, telephone your elected State Senator & Representative and try to wake them up on the problems they continue to ignore. They continue to waste their time on trying to legislate thing like morality instead of governing the state. Maybe they are so blind or engrossed in themselves that they are unable to even see the air quality problem that we have in the state. California has passed good environmental laws with major success. In the seventies, in LA you couldn't see the mountains & I can't see them here today. If our politicians are to inept to write & pass good intelligent legislation why not just copy some of California's environmental laws and use a word processor program (FIND REPLACE COMMAND) to change the word California to Utah. As to the general meaning of this EMAIL Friday, January 26th ride is cancelled because of SMOG Mike

[BBTC Ride_calendar] 2007 Tour de Cure
by Raleigh Fehr 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

BBTC, Did you get to ride in last year's Tour de Cure? Were you one of the lucky ones to spend the day pacing Greg Lemond from Brigham city to the Golden Spike monument and back? If you were, then you can do it again this year. If you weren't, this year's your chance. Yes, rumor has it that Greg is returning to Utah a second year for the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure. And this year we'll be riding as team BBTC. Click on the link below if you're ready for the chance of a lifetime (or second chance). http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?team_id=191378&pg=team&fr_id=4400&et=ivaM8… If clicking doesn't work, cut and paste the link info above into your browser to get to the Team BBTC page. But remember, this is more than just a chance to ride with a champion. It's our chance to help find a cure for diabetes. Registration is just $15 and riders only need to raise $150 in donations to ride. But let's push the envelope and show everyone that BBTC can go the distance in fund raising efforts. Shoot for the minimum of $500 and bring home a Tour de Cure jersey as a thank you. Thanks and I hope to hear from everyone soon. Raleigh Fehr Team BBTC ride leader

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Cannondale recall
by Don Williams 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

from this morning's RoadBikeRider.com newsletter Road bike recall: Cannondale and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are recalling 145 high-end road bikes sold by 'dale dealers between July and November, 2006. According to a news release, the "C1" front brake can fail because the brake-mounting bolt (pivot bolt) on the affected bikes is 3 mm short. This results in inadequate thread engagement and the risk that the threads could strip and let the brake detach from the fork. The solution is a longer recessed Allen nut. No failures or injuries have been reported. The affected bikes sold for $3,200 to $4,500 and include the Six 13 Team 1, Six 13 Team1/Compact Drive, Synapse Carbon SL1 compact Si crank and standard bottom bracket Dura-Ace crank. If you have one, stop riding it and contact a Cannondale dealer. Dealers have been provided with the serial numbers of the affected bikes.
