Regarding our misconceptions and preconceptions of the Middle East, I was there also last summer (Syria, Dubai, Lebanon, and Turkey) and found the same thing. While my American co-workers, neighbors and friends were afraid for me to travel there, I was never afraid, or even apprehensive, for myself. In fact, I felt quite at home. I'm glad I went, and found out for myself, how nice people can be all over the world. Knowledge (not hearsay) is power. >>> Dave Iltis <dave(a)cyclingutah.com> 1/27/2007 1:56 PM >>> Mummies & Mosques Authors and photographers Bruce B. Junek and Tass Thacker will be showing their newest slide program, Mummies & Mosques, from their recent three-month bicycle trip through Egypt, Jordan, Greece and Turkey, on Thursday, Feb 1, 6:30 pm at the Patagonia Outlet in Salt Lake. The cost is $5. In addition to exploring pyramids, temples and tombs, Junek and Thacker wanted to learn more about Muslim culture. They were welcomed everywhere they went and found people often had as many misconceptions about Americans as Americans have about them. Junek and Thacker make their living giving school assembly programs about their travels. Junek has also written three books, including The Road of Dreams, the story of a 26-month bicycle trip around the world. Their website is imagesoftheworld.com Thanks! Bruce Bruce B.

Everyone, Canyon rides/Park City/Trappers etc. are warm (40+) and clear....even better if you have a vehicle to bring you down the hill(s). Enjoy!

[BBTC Ride_calendar] BBTC - tired of seeing, smelling and tasting the air you're breathing?
by Rob Y. 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Hey BBTC! How about getting out of the smog and into the clean and warm air of the mountains? Craig J, I and some friends are going skiing at the Canyons on Saturday and would like to invite everyone to come join us! I have an early appointment and then we are planning to meet at the top of the gondola at 10:30am. FYI - the best place for lift tickets (if you don't have a pass) is Costco. They are selling Canyons lift tickets for $99 for two passes (you must buy them two at a time and they are good for any day during the season). My phone number is, 801-288-1330, I hope you can join us! Ski Fast and Laugh Often Rob Y.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Channel 5 has finally called it SMOG & it's canceling Friday's Ride
by Mike Hawe 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Last night Channel 5 finally started to call the air we are breathing what it is - SMOG It's unhealthy at the least. Our, savvy & bright, elected politicians want the Department of Environmental Services to take a budget cut next year (All other departments are to get increases). How do we continually elect & reelect these brain dead individuals? Call, write, telephone your elected State Senator & Representative and try to wake them up on the problems they continue to ignore. They continue to waste their time on trying to legislate thing like morality instead of governing the state. Maybe they are so blind or engrossed in themselves that they are unable to even see the air quality problem that we have in the state. California has passed good environmental laws with major success. In the seventies, in LA you couldn't see the mountains & I can't see them here today. If our politicians are to inept to write & pass good intelligent legislation why not just copy some of California's environmental laws and use a word processor program (FIND REPLACE COMMAND) to change the word California to Utah. As to the general meaning of this EMAIL Friday, January 26th ride is cancelled because of SMOG Mike

[BBTC Ride_calendar] 2007 Tour de Cure
by Raleigh Fehr 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

BBTC, Did you get to ride in last year's Tour de Cure? Were you one of the lucky ones to spend the day pacing Greg Lemond from Brigham city to the Golden Spike monument and back? If you were, then you can do it again this year. If you weren't, this year's your chance. Yes, rumor has it that Greg is returning to Utah a second year for the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure. And this year we'll be riding as team BBTC. Click on the link below if you're ready for the chance of a lifetime (or second chance). http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?team_id=191378&pg=team&fr_id=4400&et=ivaM8… If clicking doesn't work, cut and paste the link info above into your browser to get to the Team BBTC page. But remember, this is more than just a chance to ride with a champion. It's our chance to help find a cure for diabetes. Registration is just $15 and riders only need to raise $150 in donations to ride. But let's push the envelope and show everyone that BBTC can go the distance in fund raising efforts. Shoot for the minimum of $500 and bring home a Tour de Cure jersey as a thank you. Thanks and I hope to hear from everyone soon. Raleigh Fehr Team BBTC ride leader

The newspaper, radio & TV stations won't call it what it is but it's SMOG and forecasted to be a RED SMOG day tomorrow - It is unhealthy to get outdoor exercise on a RED SMOG day therefore I am canceling Tomorrow's ride Mike
