[BBTC Ride_calendar] Winter Escape in St George
by Don and Mary Margaret WILLIAMS 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Since folks have a few questions regarding the Winter Escape rides this weekend - here's the scoop The Best Western Coral Hills is the second most affordable hotel we could find in St George, but with an indoor pool and hot tub and continental breakfast. For reservations 435-673-4844. Located at 125 E. St George Blvd the motel is only one block from the Pizza and Pasta Factory and the Painted Pony, 2 blocks from Cafe Rio and 1 block from the Nielsens custard stand. This is the second Best Western when driving west from I-15 the ride plan is as follows: Pending confirmation of the route mid-day Friday and the re-building of all the missing bridges - the plan is to ride out through Santa Clara and Shivwits with a 35 mile turnaround at Gunlock Reservoir or a 60 mile out n back up to the Veyo Store(s). The longer route option goes south before Gunlock and hits Littlefield then Mesquite for lunch somewhere and a nice 50 mile ride back to St George. Sunday's ride looks like a route over to Hurricane then on to the base of the big hill at LeVerkin and back. Stores are few and far between so bring plenty of drink and food for the amount of riding you want to do. The ride is self supported which goes along with the low entry fee which is zero. Some folks have spare space in their motel rooms available if anyone is looking to save some bucks - but I dont have names yet. If you are looking for space or have space to offer - post it to the list. If you're planning on going how about dropping us a note off-list - that way we can have som idea of who's in and who's out. The southern weather looks like lows in the 30's and highs in the low to mid 50's, compared to teens to low 30's in Salt Lake - which is why we're riding this weekend -- down there. Don W.

Hey BBTC!! Check out what's happening on the ride board this week. We have some great rides posted and even a hike! The winter escape to St George sounds great! I hope all of those lucky enough to head south have warm and sunny weather and a fun and safe weekend. Monday Jan 16 10:30 AM MLK Day Antelope Island Hike 9/O/4/c We've done a lot of biking on Antelope Island. How about a hike this time? We'll see buffalo roam. Maybe even deer and antelope play. Robert plans to do a 9-mile loop hike without much elevation gain. He could be talked into doing Frary Peak if the group insists. No need to worry about weather messing up our plans. Rain, or shine, snow, sleet, earthquake, tornado, it doesn't matter: the hike will go. Just look at the weather when you get up and prepare for the conditions. Meet in the parking lot by the entrance booth at the beginning of the causeway. To get there, take I-15 exit #335 and go west about 7 miles. We'll car pool from there to the island since there is an entrance fee of $8 or $9 per car (which we'll share).

[BBTC Ride_calendar] This weeks upcoming rides!
by Robert Yuschak 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

Hello BBTC! I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy the weather of this past week at least once! The mild temperatures of this season is making for some great winter riding conditions while still giving us some great skiing/riding conditions as well. It's been great; you can ski in the morning and then come down to the valley and take a bike ride. Does it get any better!! By the way, I ski 2-4 days every week in the Park City area. On Wednesdays I volunteer at PCMR in exchange for my season's pass. I invite any and everyone to come ski/ride with me any time. I always have my phone with me plus I carry a two way radio set to channel 1 code 1 that I can also be reached on. Come, make some turns some time. On another note, Saturday the 14th is the winter moon. I am thinking of hosting a moonlight tour up in Albion basin, would anyone be interested? The best nights by weather and early moon would be Wednesday or Thursday, Friday may also be good but there is a front coming that may hit by then. Please let me know, if I get any interest I will post to the mailing list and calendar. Speaking of the calendar, here are this weeks scheduled rides, have a GREAT week and I will look for you on the road and on the slopes! Captain Rob Sunday Jan 8 10:30 AM President's Polar Bear Ride and Pot-Luck 30/B-C/3/c Come brave the elements at the annual President's Polar Bear Ride. Regardless of conditions, we WILL ride (It just may not be as far if the roads are all snowy). Pot luck and social will begin at 2:00 PM Meet at: 2177 E. DeBeers Drive (8830 South) for the ride and / or the pot luck. Raleigh Fehr president(a)bbtc.net (801) 699-7016 Sunday Jan 8 01:00 PM Antelope Island - Garr Ranch 40/A-B-C/4-5/b Join me on Polar Bear Sunday for an assault on the Island. We'll attempt to ride the traditional route across the causeway, down to Garr Ranch and back, around the beaches/Visitors Center and then back across the causeway. If the ranch gate is closed or its too windy/cold, we'll ride what we can. Dress appropriately for the conditions. There is a fee for bicycles, so bring money or if you have a pass, bring that along. People with passes can get 8 bicycles on the island so most of the time there are enough people with passes that we don't even have to pay the fee. Meet at: the parking lot just before the gate. Take the Antelope Island/Syracuse exit from I-15. Turn west on Antelope Drive. Proceed to the parking area on the left just before the Antelope Island State Park entrance.
