[BBTC Ride_calendar] LOTOJA
by Ryan Carter 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Today, I called the race organizers with a few questions about registration. During my conversation with an organizer, I learned that as of today, 950 cyclists had registered for the race. I thought the club should know in case anyone has procrastinated as long as I before registering. Time is definitely running out. Ryan Carter

[BBTC Ride_calendar] The Tour
by Penny Perkins 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

I could help but sharing this, this is a day that will go down in history! Paul Sherwen really hit the nail on the head. 2005 Tour de France: Stage 21 By Paul Sherwen Today was the end of an unbelievable ride, an incredible story that even Hollywood couldn't have thought up. When I met Lance Armstrong in 1992 I knew he was special. He was straight talking and fresh -- something that was new in the old fashioned world of European cycling. He immediately talked like a winner, a leader and a champion. He told the truth. Always achieving the goals that he set himself. When I met him in November 1996 I thought I was meeting him for the last time. No hair, eyebrows or lashes. Twenty pounds lighter than the one-day classics rider that I had seen win the Fleche Wallone. He shuffled down the corridor at the University Hospital in Indianapolis, pushing a Baxter, drip in his arm, and physically not the man that I had seem dominate European cycling. I thought it was to be the last time I would see him. After all, the doctors told me he was almost certainly a "goner." But that is not knowing the man -- he fought back, he came back, and he lived. I never thought that I would witness him ride a bike again, but at least Idid see him survive. I never thought that he would win the Tour de France once, let alone seven times. Now this chapter of his story closes on the Champs Elysees today. But instinct tells me this story is not yet over -- it can't be. Lance live on, go well and "Live Strong." See you down the road. A Little bit about Paul Sherwen: Paul raced seven times in the Tour de France from 1978-1985. During his cycling career, he garnered the British National Road race championships in 1987. Since retiring from the sport '87 he has covered the Tour de France every year for several television networks around the world. He also worked closely with Lance Armstrong in his early professional career as the Public Relations Director of the now defunct Motorola Cycling Team. Paul and his family live in Busia, a small town on the Uganda/Kenya border where they operate a gold mine. See you on the road Penny. --- Email Powered By www.Networld.com

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Karpets
by pecan314＠xmission.com 23 Jul '05

Vladimir Karpets came in 10th in the time trial today! He's young yet and still has time to mature and come into form. I think he's a great choice for favorite rider. Though, it turns out that under the hats he usually wears for pictures he's got a head full of luxurious hair and no mullet. I still like him anyway. Geez, teasing me when I'm not even in Utah to defend myself. Good thing I checked my e-mail. JEN

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Jen Heckmans favorite racer
by Don Williams 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Karpets flames out Vladimir Karpets, the angular Russian who won the best young rider's competition last year and finished 13th overall, is nowhere near those lofty heights this year. Karpets, 24, faded in the first mountain stages and has been moving backward ever since. He started Friday's stage 50th at 1:40:40 off the winning pace. "He never recovered from the Giro," said Illes Balears sport director Eusebio Unzue. "His wife gave birth two days after the Giro and he's never been able to get strong again." Karpets chose to race the Giro d'Italia rather than take a more traditional Tour buildup that might have gone through Romandie and Dauphine Libere. The tall, lanky Russian - who seems to be taking over for the peloton's mullet-man from veteran Laurent Brochard - simply prefers to race. "He went to the Giro strictly for preparation, but then he started to figure in the GC and went deep to go as hard as he could to make a result," Unzue said referring to Karpet's eventual top 10 at the Giro. "He's only 24, it was too much for him," he said. Unzue said the team is confident their Russian flier will be back to his best at next year's Tour. What's sure is that Italy won't be seeing him come May.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Pioneer Century - July 25th
by bike 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

The weather is supposed to be a bit cooler on Monday and we are looking forward to a great ride. In getting to Morgan you will have some road concerns to be aware of. As metioned in another email Emmigration Canyon and Hwy 65 will be occupied with the marathon. Also note that I-84 is under construction/repair from Hwy 89 to Morgan, you may experience delays especially in the canyon. If you come via Park City bridge repair work is also underway between Henefer and Morgan but this should not cause much delay.. If you come by helicopter you should have free sailing. See ya at the ride, Deven
