Hey BBTC!! The BIG highlight this week is our annual club picnic on Saturday! Raleigh has planned some creative rides fashioned after rally car racing format. You can read all about it in his paceline in the August newsletter. It’s available online and should be arriving in your mailbox any day now. We are still in need of some tandems to lead teams, contact Raleigh to help lead the charge! The Tour of Utah started today with Stage 1 going around Utah lake (sound familiar?). All the usual rides are on the calendar this week, the canyon club is climbing City Creek this week (cool no cars) and the super series is running on Sunday with Promontory and a mini me in Huntsville. See everyone at the picnic! Cap’n Rob Monday Aug 7 06:00 PM Bike Handling Skills 15/D/5/c bike skills tips and ride. Meet at: sugarhouse park 2100 S. 1500 E.
