I've ridden Strawberry (2 Sundays ago) and Monte Cristo (yesterday). I thought M. Cristo was harder ... more relentless. Strawberry does have a false summit -- just when you think you should be coasting at 30-40 mph, you're straining to go 10-15 mph for another mile or two. Ditto Brent re the last couple miles of Salt River Pass. But, whether literally or figuratively, it's pretty much down hill from there. (Pray to the Goddess of the Skinny Wheel -- or was it the Spoke? -- for a tail wind.) john -------------- Original message -------------- > Bill, > > It's rolling at first then the grade is more constant as you get in to > the National Forest area.

Bill, It's rolling at first then the grade is more constant as you get in to the National Forest area. Nothing steeper than 7% and those two areas are less than one mile in length. The climb is long however. Of the three climbs, the worst is the last 2 1/2 miles of Salt River Pass. That's a real grind for me. Thanks!

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Easy Mountain Bike Ride, Friday 6:30pm
by Robert Turner 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi Bikers, Anyone want to do an easy mountain bike ride tomorrow (Friday) evening? That is, unless you have a hot date. Wait! Come to think of it, if you do have a hot date, just bring him/her along (this includes husbands and wives). We'll ride the dirt road that goes from Jeremy Ranch to East Canyon. Meet at the beginning of that road at 6:30pm. We'll ride however far we want, then turn back, but we'll need to turn around early enough to get back by sunset at 8:10pm. If you have any questions, let me know. Robert Turner

[BBTC Ride_calendar] THE BIG RIDE 8/28/05
by Bob Renwick 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Dear Big Riders, For all of you who are planning to do the Big Ride Sunday here is some additional info. We will have two sag vehicles. We have two 5 gall jugs of water and some powdered Gatorade. We also have some Fig Newtons and some chips and salsa for the lunch stop. Other than that, bring your own food and drinks. If you are leaving any food or clothes with the sag wagons make sure it is in a bag with your name on it. Your gear could change vehicles depending on the speed of your ride. (Faster or slower). The ride is marked and we'll also have a map. We plan on leaving at 7:00 sharp so come early. We start a big climb right out of the gate so you might want to warm up before the start. We get on I-80 after we go through Evanston for about 20 miles. Sorry We also take I-84 for about 12 miles to get to Morgan. If you feel like it, I'd propose we wear the club jersey Sunday. It's going to be a long day with a ton of climbing, actually 2 tons of climbing. Have fun (fun?) and good luck. Pedal in Circles Bob Renwick and Jerry Brown bobrenwick(a)comcast.net

FYI, Provo Canyon Project Update Attention: Motorists utilizing the haul road near Canyon Meadows to gain access to the bicycle trail must immediately cease.

Utah Highway Patrol and Wasatch County Sheriff officers will be patrolling the area and all motorized vehicles found using the trail will be subject to a fine. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please forward this information to others that may be affected by the Provo Canyon Project.

OK - since so many of us ride anytime roads are passable - how about all months except 1 week prior to and one week after the banquet/elections?

Board - I thought I would bring this up and cc the mailing list since I've talked to a few riders about this topic recently. Currently, our ride calendar is from Dec. 1st to Sept.30th. Since there is still good riding to be had in October and November, does it make sense to change our ride calendar from October 1st to September 30th? Even after the change from DST, there are times in November when the weekends are warm enough to ride. Plus, in 2007 we are going to get an extra month of DST. Greg McMurdie

[BBTC Ride_calendar] September 3rd Ride
by Penny Perkins 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Thanks to all who have stepped up and filled in the blanks for our September schedule! Below is the information on a September 3rd Ride Rob Yuschak is leading. We are looking for someone interested in leading a short leg of the ride. If you are interested...please let me know! Saturday Sep 3 09:00 AM loops along the east bench 60/O/3/c Meet at 4711 S. Bonner Circle (1265 E). We'll head south first and loop up to the mouth of little cottonwood and then head north following Wasatch blvd, across parleys, around the zoo and then back south to the finish (my house). We can then fire up the grill and have a party!! We'll do a potluck, so bring something to share. There's plenty of parking and room to play....baci, badminton, Frisbee, trampoline, etc!! The main route will be 60+ miles and will be paced for B-C riding. with the help of other ride leaders we could have loops of varying miles to accommodate everyone so all levels of riders can join in on the fun... Please contact me if you are willing to lead a loop and let's crank up the fun! Rob Yuschak xsenergy(a)freshtraks.com 801-288-1330
