[BBTC Ride_calendar] [Fwd: [MBAC] Upcoming Wasatch Blvd. construction]
by Raleigh Fehr 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [MBAC] Upcoming Wasatch Blvd. construction Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 23:32:08 -0500 From: Jensen, Travis L. <Travis.Jensen(a)c-b.com> To: mbac-list(a)aros.net, ubc-list(a)aros.net Fellow cyclists, Starting next Monday and lasting through about October 21st there will be periodic road construction on Wasatch Boulevard between Parley's Crossing and 6200 South. The reason for the construction is that a contractor is going to be out there making the modifications necessary to stripe bike lanes and delineate it as a bike route. There shouldn't be any construction going on in the main part of the road where, as you probably recall, the County re-surfaced the road last summer. Most of the work will involve widening some stretches of shoulder (mostly southbound); reconstructing some drainage grates and replacing them with bicycle-safe grates; shaving off part of an island on southbound Wasatch near 4500 South to allow enough width for a bike lane; installing signage along the bike route; and adding additional striping. The work will be concentrated along the shoulders of the road, so shoulder space may be constricted at times, but the road will remain open.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] What's Happening this Week!
by Rob Y. 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hey BBTC! What's happening this week? Why the ULCER of course! If you aren't riding it, are you helping with it? This is the last of our major rides of the season and we are working towards another big success that will leave everyone talking and praising. Everything is coming together and we are in the final countdown. Do we still need help? You bet! Want to help mark out the courses? Give me a call. One of the most visible and rewarding positions on the volunteer board is that of SAG. We are still in need of SAG drivers, if you haven't done this before it's a lot of fun. You are out there with the riders and supporting them when they flat or have a breakdown or maybe they just can't make those few miles to the next rest stop. Pass on some words of encouragement or maybe a joke that will give them a laugh and an unexpected burst of energy to make that last mile needed to complete a new personal best. Come on out and support your club by riding and helping to make this the best ULCER yet, one of the oldest continually held cycling event in Utah!! See you Saturday! And "Pedal Fast and Laugh Often" Cap'n Rob Tuesday Aug 15 06:00 PM Emigration Ride 24/O/2-3/c Ride up Emigration Canyon to the Little Mountain Summit and back. Ride at your own pace.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] 2006 commuter challenge
by Raleigh Fehr 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi everyone, It's time to announce our exciting fall contest - the 2006 Commuter Challenge! Many of you enjoyed the Challenge last year and wanted to sign up again. This year we're adding some new incentives to build participation. Here are the details: ************************************* UTA RIDESHARE 2006 COMMUTER CHALLENGE How would you like to participate in one of Salt Lake's greenest community events? UTA Rideshare is gearing up for this year's Commuter Challenge contest and we invite you to sign up as a competitor. What is the Commuter Challenge? The Commuter Challenge is a friendly two-week competition between Salt Lake County businesses and organizations. The goal is to encourage more people to use sustainable transportation during their daily commute. This year the Commuter Challenge runs from Monday, September 11th through Friday, September 22nd. During the contest, organizations compete to earn the most points within their size category. You earn points every time you take a sustainable mode of transportation to work (i.e. walk, ride the bus or TRAX, carpool, vanpool, bike, telework). The Commuter Challenge is a great way to build teamwork and expose employees to healthier and less expensive commuting options. If your business is located downtown and subsidizes parking costs for employees, the Commuter Challenge is also an opportunity to create habits that can save your organization a lot of money. Winners receive awards, prizes and a lunch party at your business! So it sounds pretty good and you'd like to sign up? All you need to do is: 1. Choose a Team Leader to organize your company's efforts. The Team Leader will help get the word out, encourage employee participation, total employee points, and respond to any questions. Because you've been a resource for your employee transportation needs, you all would make great Team Leaders. Or perhaps you know someone who would. 2. Reply to me with the completed Sign-Up form (attached) by August 15th. Challenge yourself and your colleagues to drive less this September! Thank you, Shaina Shaina Miron Quinn Regional Marketing Specialist UTA Rideshare smiron(a)uta.cog.ut.us 801.287.2066 www.utarideshare.com UTA Rideshare A different way to get there

For a limited time Tour Organizers will allow "Day-of registration" for $100.00. Arrive at the start between 5:00 and 5:45 to sign in. The 2006 Freedom Peloton begins at 6:00PM at the Stage 5 start of the 2006 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. The start line is on 400 West and South Temple in between the Gateway and Delta Center.
