You know you're an addicted road cyclist when . . . . . . your surgeon says you need a heart valve replacement and you insist on presta. . . . you find nothing disgusting about discussing the connection between hydration and urine color. . . . you empathize with roadkill. . . . you take your bike when shopping for a motor vehicle, just to make sure it'll fit inside. . . . good cycling roads are the main thing that matters when hunting for a new house. . . . you view crashes as an opportunity to upgrade components. . . . you say "On your left!" when walking around another pedestrian. . . . dessert is the first thing you order when eating out. . . . you smile at someone, who informs you that you have bugs in your teeth.

There wasn't a ton of snow, but probably enough to want thicker tires. We will still ride, but bring your mountain bike and dress warm. JEN

by Bob Renwick 03 Dec '05

Due to new snow and possible icy roads I cancelled today's ride. Brighton received 15" of new snow. Looks like a good day to ski or ride. Pedal in circles. Bob Renwick bobrenwick(a)comcast.net

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Good News from Colorado!
by jp2705＠comcast.net 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

I received the following from a biker east of the Rockies. It's good news, due at least in part to signatories to the online petition circulated by the bbtc. While it does little to mitigate the embarrassment and shame suffered by the CU Barf-a-Loos at the hands of the mighty and noble NU 'Huskers last Friday, it's nonetheless a step forward on the roads of Colorado: * * * * * * * * * DENVER, CO (December 2, 2005) --The following are the remarks made by Colonel Mark Trostel, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol, in regard to timed special events on Colorado roadways. "Following a great deal of discussion with my staff and other agencies, I recently made a decision about the maximum number of participants for timed special events on our roadways. "This decision impacted a few events where participants highly exceeded the cap of 2,500. "In the spirit of cooperation and problem solving, I have decided to delay the implementation of this cap for a period of 12 months. "This decision is based on several factors which include creating additional dialogue on special events and the impact on the motoring public, as well as in the communities where they are being held, receiving additional input about early registration time periods for the upcoming 2006 special events' season, and most importantly the safety of all the entities involved. Building partnerships to create safer use of our highways is everyone's responsibility. "We will take this interim period to work with the special event organizers, the motoring public, the community and legislators to create a policy that will ensure the safety of event participants and motorists. "Our goal is to effectively manage the safety of all such special events with our current resources. "The top priority for the Colorado State Patrol is highway safety. It is with this mission that we serve our communities and citizens. "During the next 12 months, we look forward to reinforcing our partnerships with special event organizers and other interested partners. The results of these cooperative efforts will allow us to further evaluate the safety needs of timed special events and create appropriate policy." Colonel Mark V. Trostel Chief, Colorado State Patrol

Friends, Some of you have already heard about the Colorado ban on cycling events with over 2500 participants. If you have or if you haven't here is an article on the Bicycle Colorado web page that details the ban and the events and charities it will hurt. I know many of us have participated in some of these events or hope to someday so it definitely effects us. Also, if it is accepted in Colorado other states may follow. The Web page includes links for petitioning. When petitioning please do not insult the Colorado Highway Patrol. They are not enemies just misguided. As stated in the article, "Keep in mind that the State Patrol officers are heroes to bicyclists. They cite unsafe drivers and provide emergency assistance." Lets help our neighbors and get his ban revoked. Please forward to your cycling clubs, teams and friends. http://www.bicyclecolorado.org/to/petition Malcolm Campbell, Architect Gary Miller Architect & Associates 103 E.
