[Ride_calendar] Olympic message of peace
by Raleigh Fehr 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Looking for something to do this summer? Thought these might interest some of you. Raleigh PUBLIC RELATIONS RFP - Notes OBJECTIVE. Salt Lake City Corporation (the "City"), is soliciting competitive sealed proposals from qualified contractors to execute the public relations for a project to send a message of Peace, Youth, and the Environment from the Mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah to the Mayor of Torino, Italy. The message will be transported entirely without the use of fossil fuels. Under separate arrangements, the message will be followed by a documentary film maker and a documentary film or video diary will be produced for public viewing after the message has made the transcontinental journey. II. BACKGROUND. In 1997, the mayor of Lillehammer, Norway, host city of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games, sent a message of Peace, Youth and the Environment by non-fossil fuel means to the mayor of Nagano, Japan, host city of the 1998 Winter Olympic Games. In 2001 the mayor of Nagano sent his message of Peace, Youth and the Environment to the mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, host city of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Now the mayor of Salt Lake City is sending his message of Peace, Youth and the Environment to the mayor of Torino, Italy, host city of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. It must be transported and arrive by non-fossil fuel means by January 2006. The City has planned a route using bicycles for the initial journey across the U.S., a sailing ship across the Atlantic Ocean, and bicycles and hiking for the European leg starting in Oostende, Belgium and ending in Torino, Italy. The City anticipates that the successful applicant will sign a contract with the City by February 17, 2005 and will complete and finalize public relations plans along the route prior to April 1, 2005. The City is recruiting sponsors to cover costs of the journey, including funds for public outreach. However, proposals that include sponsor solicitation to offset the costs of the public relations portion of the project may be afforded preference over other proposals. All secured funding or donations must be approved by the City. The U.S. bicycle team will need to leave from Salt Lake City prior to April 6, 2005 in order to arrive in New York no later than May 20, 2005. The ocean-crossing to Belgium is estimated to take 30 sailing days and should arrive on or about June 18, 2005. The European bicycle team will begin the European leg in July. The European journey is expected to take between two and three weeks. By mid-August 2005 the final leg to Torino, Italy will be complete. The journey must be completed in time for a documentary film to be produced prior to the 2006 Winter Olympic Games (February 2006). The trip should include numerous advertised local events in cities along the route with local participation so that the trip will serve as a continuous celebration of the message as it moves toward its destination in Torino. The City will be contracting for a documentary film, or video diary, to be produced as a record of the journey from Salt Lake City to Torino. The City will select a documentary film maker and determine the scope and goals of the documentary. The documentary film maker will produce the documentary, and shall provide in a contract that all rights to the documentary shall be owned by Salt Lake City Corporation. A separate request for proposal is being offered to film and produce the documentary, but one company may submit offers for both proposals. The intent of this solicitation is to find and contract with a qualified firm to plan, organize and manage the public relations surrounding the delivery of such message by a team(s) to be selected and to hold events at cities along the route of the team carrying the message. RFP forms can be down-loaded from our internet page at www.slcpurchasing.com. Please note the above referenced changes prior to submission of your proposal. If you have any questions, please contact, Jerilyn Midthun, telephone (801) 535-6446. cc: RFP File No. 0103RFP050021 Contract File No. 04-1-05-1181 DOCUMENTARY FILM RFP - Notes OBJECTIVE.

[Ride_calendar] The rumors are true
by Raleigh Fehr 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

Have you heard of the L.A. Bike tour? How about the Bike New York - The great Five Boro Bike Tour? No? These are both short bike tours through major metropolitan areas (Los Angeles and downtown New York) held on totally closed courses. Closed Course? That means the streets are closed to automobile traffic and they belong to the cyclists. Sound like fun, riding 25 - 50 miles through a city with no cars and not having to deal with traffic lights? But then traveling all the way to New York or L.A. just for a short bike ride hardly seems worth it. Well if you've heard the rumors over the last year, I'm here to tell you that they're true. I spoke with the organizers of the S.L Marathon last week and they will be opening the course to cyclists prior to the running of the marathon. I'm told that registration should be available sometime within the next week at their site: http://www.pesm.active.com/exec/salt/index.cfm?publicationID=217 There are a few caveats however. 1) It will be a very early morning start. This is after all a running event and they have a scheduled start time for the marathon. So if you're not at the start on time for the bike ride, it's not going to happen for you. 2) Since it is early in the morning and the cyclists will be the first through the course, they will be escorted by a Police motorcade. Riders will be kept to a maximum speed of whatever the motorcade is doing. So there won't be any high speed pace lines cruising down the streets, just a nice easy bike tour (and this is a bad thing?) 3) Again, in order to guarantee a clear course for the runners, cyclists must maintain a minimum speed of somewhere around 14 mph. No word on what happens if you don't keep up, but I'm sure we'll find out. 4) Rather than the full 26 mile marathon course, cyclists will only do 25 and miss out on looping around Liberty park. So if this sounds like a fun way to spend this April 23rd, stay tuned for details and pass the word. I'll send out an announcement when registration opens up. Raleigh

[Ride_calendar] Cactus Hugger
by Raleigh Fehr 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Just to dispel all the rumors, the Cactus Hugger Century is a go! Despite the fact that our original route was washed out by the flooding in Washington County, we have designed a new route that starts in Hurricane, Utah and takes riders around the valley and up THROUGH Zion National Park and back. This year's route will be easier riding--no mountains to climb just the usual hilly desert terrain. The date is April 9, 2005. Check out the details on our club website: www.swubta.com. Please post this ride in your calendar so all our faithful BBTC riders will get the message and book a hotel in beautiful "Downtown Hurricane". Any questions, just e-mail me at clucygo(a)skyviewmail.com Lucy
