[BBTC Ride_calendar] Josie ride tomorrow
by Raleigh Fehr 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Just a couple of other items for tomorrow. For those who may not know the exact location of Sugarhouse Park, it's located off of 2100 South with entrances off of 1400, 1500, and 1600 East. For those coming via freeway, take the 1300 East exit off of I-80, turn North to 2100 South and then East. Then, I've been told that the ride will form up at the South end of the park. There will be registration tables down there for the ride as well as some speeches given. Look for me around the registration tables to sign in for club miles. See you there. Raleigh

by Raleigh Fehr 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Please join us on October 15, 2005, for the second annual Josie Johnson Memorial Ride to unite the cycling community and promote bicycle safety. Let's show that BBTC supports cycling safety and wear your club jersey to the event! The Josie Johnson Memorial Ride will meet at Sugarhouse Park (south end terraces) at 12 noon, ride to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon for a moment of silence, and return along Wasatch Drive back to Sugarhouse Park. The ride is about 21 miles in total length. There is no fee to participate. Mayor Rocky Anderson and local bike advocates will address bicycle safety in our community at the gathering in Sugarhouse Park. Project leaders on the Wasatch Blvd and Big Cottonwood Road bike lane projects will share updates at the gathering at the mouth of Big Cottonwood. Also, the Salt Lake County Bicycle Advisory Committee (SLCBAC) will display work and solicit feedback on the county-wide bicycle route map project. Tour de France stage winner Dave Zabriskie will lead the ride to keep the pace nice and slow. Seriously! This ride is in remembrance to those killed in car collisions while riding their bicycles and honors Josie Johnson, who was killed while riding up Big Cottonwood Canyon on September 18, 2004. Josie was an avid road and mountain biker, overall outdoor enthusiast, and aspiring doctoral student at the University of Utah. Bright-colored jerseys and t-shirts will be available; donations for the shirts and jerseys will be used to fund the Utah Bicycle Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bicycle safety.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Sunday's Antelope Island Ride
by Penny Perkins 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Kim Haggin is scheduled to lead Sunday October 15th Antelope Island Ride. She has some problems with her foot and has been told by her Dr. not to ride. Anyway....I am looking for a volunteer to lead the ride. The forecast for Sunday's weather is good. So this will be a fun ride! Here is the information on the ride. Antelope Island Ride Sunday October 15th - 9:00 a.m. 40 Miles/Open Pace/3-4/B Take the Antelope Island/Syracuse exit from I-15. Turn west on Antelope and proceed to the Island. We will meet in the parking lot just outside the gate. We'll ride across the causeway, down to Garr Ranch and back, around the beaches/Visitors Center and then back across the causeway. There is a fee for bicycles, so bring money or if you have a pass, bring that along. People with passes can get 8 bicycles on the island so most of the time there are enough people with passes that we don't even have to pay the fee. Call or check your email if weather is questionable. Please contact Penny at roadcaptain(a)bbtc.net if you are willing to take over and lead the ride. Thanks, Penny Perkins

[BBTC Ride_calendar] November/December ride Schedule
by Penny Perkins 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Greetings! The November/December ride schedule is due to be finalized on October 15th. This is the time of the year that we combine two months into one newsletter. Anyway....we need your help to have some good activities for our club. We would like to have a Sunday and Saturday ride each weekend. It would also be fun to have some snowshoe hikes for those snowy days and get in some good cross training. We give ride leader credit for hikes....but no mileage. Spin classes with social events following (preferably on a Friday night) have been allot of fun in the past and it would be good to have some more. We give 15 miles credit for a one hour class. Please help us out. There is allot of fun to be had in the winter months to come! Penny
