[BBTC Ride_calendar] Mini Me ride leaders needed
by Robert Turner 19 May '06

19 May '06

*Hello bikers! * By now you've received your May newsletter and perhaps have seen that the Mini-Me series is back this year and in full swing. If not, here is the newsletter blurb: *It's back! The oh so popular Mini-Me series will return for 2006. Are Fig Newtons more your style than Gu? Stopping for a Slurpee better then Carbo Fuel? Taking a photo better than oxygen debt induced tunnel vision? These rides are for you! Mini-me rides are a more relaxed "C" pace and have a more social slant than "A-B paced" Super Series centuries. Most rides will be 50km to 100km, or about 30, 50, or 65 miles tops. Anyone who rides 6 of the 12 Mini-me series will get the oh so special Mini-me T-shirt. Don't miss out on the fun with friends! For more info check the ride schedule, or call the ride leader. * If these sound like your kind of rides, we need your help! We've had 3 rides so far, with a fourth one scheduled in June. But we are planning to have 12 rides in all, so a quick bit of math lets you know we need leaders for 8 more. Here are some suggested (not required--just suggested) dates; we'd love it if you could pick one of them up. You may notice that these dates are the same as the super series. We are suggesting these to offer another ride alternative on super series days. Let me know (please!) if you can lead a Mini Me ride on one of these dates. If none of these dates work for you, but you would still like to lead a ride, that is fine. Just let me know what date you want. Jul 4 (Tue) Leader needed Jul 9 (Sun) Leader needed Jul 15 (Sat) Leader needed Jul 30 (Sun) Leader needed Aug 20 (Sun) Leader needed Aug 27 (Sun) Leader needed Sep 4 (Mon) Leader needed Sep 23 (Sat) Leader needed Notice that you are free to choose the ride you want to do, which is great. You get to do the ride you want, starting where you want, at the time you want, and even the date you want. Wow! Does it get any better than that? The only thing we ask is that you chose a ride in the 30-60 or maybe 65 mile range, and schedule it at a C pace. So far, we've had a 40 mile Farmington ride, a 60 mile segment of the Randy Sutherland ALS ride, a 46 mile Chalk Creek ride, with a 50 mile Heber Valley ride coming up in June. Here's hoping I hear from you, Robert Turner

In addition, police officers in several of the municipalities around here are now issuing tickets to cyclists who do not obey stop signs. We need to learn to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, not eeeaaze through slowly as we so often do. I know that in the past we have lost the respect of many automobile drivers as they wait for a stop sign and then observe us charging right through the intersection. They now have the new law to deal with to keep 3 feet distance and we should do our part as well.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Night ride invitation for tonight (Thursday)
by Robert Turner 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hello Bikers, The evenings this week just before and after sunset have been way too nice to ignore, so I've decided I need to do a sunset-night ride tonight (Thursday, the 18th). Please join me, if you are interested. We'll start at 8:00pm from the north end of Liberty Park (600 E 900 S). I'm planning on a 15-20 mile (ride at your own pace) loop that will go up by the U, through the avenues and down Memory Grove. Headlights and taillights are required, since we won't get back until 9:30 or so. Let me know if you would like to come, and I'll look for you. Thanks, Robert Turner

Hey ladies! I am looking for a volunteer (preferably a women) to help sell jersey's, socks and hats the day of the ride. We would need you from 7:00 a.m. to 9 a.m. So we need someone who is not planning on riding or doesn't mind starting the ride at 9:00 a.m. Please let me know if you or a family member could help us out in our little clothing store. Thanks, Penny

Sorry for this going out so late. I have had a very busy week and only just finished setting up the course and writing a cue sheet. Hopefully this will reach at least a few riders before the start. See you on the road, Rob

[BBTC Ride_calendar] LOTOJA 2006
by Penny Perkins 13 May '06

13 May '06

To all my cycling friends that procrastinate. On Friday May 12th the LOTOJA race reached 1,000 participants. That is the maximum number of riders they are accepting. They are accepting 100 riders to their waiting list. Robin and I registered today and are number 13 and 14 on the waiting list. Between now and June 9th they will allow cancellations and fill in with those spaces with riders on the waiting list. After June 9th they will not do any switching from the cancellation list and we are out of luck. Anyway if you haven't registered and want to give it a try....go ahead and register and get your name on the waiting list. We are hoping for lots of early (very early) cancellations this year. Penny

Hi everybody, Out of respect for the Ride of Silence, the ULTRA tandem after work ride, scheduled for Wednesday the 17th, will be postponed until the following Wednesday the 24th. I didn't look at the schedule before I entered it. I think the Ride of Silence needs our support, we'll see you there. Eric Unck
