The forecast for this afternoon with continued snow showers will adversely affect riding conditions, and visibility - so this afternoon's downtown ride is cancelled. Forecast for Saturday in St George remains clear Don W.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Tour de Cure
by Stan Swallow 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

Hi Cyclists of BBTC, Thanks to the newsletter for your bike club, several of you have now registered for the Tour de Cure ride on June 10th. I encourage you all to come with us on this ride for a great cause, to cure and prevent Diabetes. The registration for this well supported Century ride is only $15. They just don't make Centuries for $15 anymore, with this one exception. The minimum fund raising obligation is only $100. You will receive a Gold's Gym Utah team bike jersey when you reach the minimum of $100. This is a great jersey made by Cannondale and should be ready for us by early April. I am getting ready to launch a fund raising contest in the next few weeks for a TREK 320 bike frame, size 54cm. Get on board and have a chance to win this and other great incentives during the 5 months leading up to the Tour. We already have 41 team members registered and are hoping for 50 more from your club. Can you imagine riding the century with over 100 team jerseys heading down the road. But better yet imagine raising over $50,000 to help the people with this awful disease while we are having this great time together. Please join the Gold's Gym Utah cycling team for the Tour de Cure 2006. It's in Brigham City on June 10.
