Re: [BBTC Ride_calendar] Fwd: Policing in Emigration
by Jonkmanj＠cs.com 18 May '06

18 May '06

In addition, police officers in several of the municipalities around here are now issuing tickets to cyclists who do not obey stop signs. We need to learn to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, not eeeaaze through slowly as we so often do. I know that in the past we have lost the respect of many automobile drivers as they wait for a stop sign and then observe us charging right through the intersection. They now have the new law to deal with to keep 3 feet distance and we should do our part as well.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Night ride invitation for tonight (Thursday)
by Robert Turner 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hello Bikers, The evenings this week just before and after sunset have been way too nice to ignore, so I've decided I need to do a sunset-night ride tonight (Thursday, the 18th). Please join me, if you are interested. We'll start at 8:00pm from the north end of Liberty Park (600 E 900 S). I'm planning on a 15-20 mile (ride at your own pace) loop that will go up by the U, through the avenues and down Memory Grove. Headlights and taillights are required, since we won't get back until 9:30 or so. Let me know if you would like to come, and I'll look for you. Thanks, Robert Turner

[BBTC Ride_calendar] LOTOJA 2006
by Penny Perkins 13 May '06

13 May '06

To all my cycling friends that procrastinate. On Friday May 12th the LOTOJA race reached 1,000 participants. That is the maximum number of riders they are accepting. They are accepting 100 riders to their waiting list. Robin and I registered today and are number 13 and 14 on the waiting list. Between now and June 9th they will allow cancellations and fill in with those spaces with riders on the waiting list. After June 9th they will not do any switching from the cancellation list and we are out of luck. Anyway if you haven't registered and want to give it a try....go ahead and register and get your name on the waiting list. We are hoping for lots of early (very early) cancellations this year. Penny

Hi everybody, Out of respect for the Ride of Silence, the ULTRA tandem after work ride, scheduled for Wednesday the 17th, will be postponed until the following Wednesday the 24th. I didn't look at the schedule before I entered it. I think the Ride of Silence needs our support, we'll see you there. Eric Unck

Hey BBTC! Sorry for the long absence. The winter has left and the weather is perfect for cycling as demonstrated by all the great rides springing up on the ride calendar.
