[BBTC Ride_calendar] Urgent: Team BBTC jersey and short size chart and picture of both attached
by Brent W. 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

To all those of you who have ordered jersey/s and/or shorts I have attached a sizing chart for both, along with a picture of both. Understand, the size chart uses race-cut sizes. If you would like the club-cut, please go up one-size. Please inform me as to which cut you are ordering. Also, if you would let me know ASAP it would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to get these into our hands by the first week of June. The final price will be $30/jersey and $50/shorts. If I don't hear from you by tomorrow (Thursday 4-26) I will assume your original order and size is correct and will place the order. If you haven't ordered yet and would still like to respond promptly. Thank you very much, Brent Williams-Team BBTC coordinator

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Bonneville stuff
by Andrew McCool 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

BBTC, First let me thank everyone who came out to the General Membership Meeting. We had a good turnout, had lots of food and festivities, and got some positive insight. Those of you who couldn't make it, we missed you. Next, Is anyone thinking about going to RAGBRI this year? I have gotten a couple of emails from interested parties. This would count for club miles if enough people go. Last, I have a flat ride this Sunday to the lake, please come if you can. It is easy to cut it short if you are self suficiant. I would love to see "The poachers club" for this one. Thanks folks, see you soon McCool --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

BBTC, I just received this e-mail from one of our LRRH riders. This puts all the hard work bbtc members do to make this ride such a success in a great perspective.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Steve Zinik's Crash
by Shari Zinik 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Thanks to Shari's campaign after my accident, the City Water Department has fixed the road hazard I hit on 2700 East at 3120 South in the northbound lane. The road was repaved about a year ago which left some recessed man holes that were never fixed until last week. My accident happened on March 12th at approximately 3:30 pm. I was riding northbound on 2700 East at 3120 South when I hit a recessed water main man hole that put me in the hospital for three days with a collapsed lung, a broken collar bone, and a badly bruised hip. A good Samaritan who saw me wreck gave me a ride home. There was another bicyclist behind me, who I did not know, that witnessed my crash. Unfortunately, I did not get their names. If anybody has heard anyone mention that they saw my fall, please let me know so I can thank them. I would like to find that other cyclist somehow. I need a witness to help me make a claim. Sincerely: Steve Zinik

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Team BBTC Jerseys and possible matching shorts
by Brent W. 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hi all, We are looking to run A pace, B pace and C pace teams during some of our club rides with an emphasis on each practicing different pacelines, areas of sprinting, climbing, recovery, etc. If you would like to participate in one of these teams please let me know which team is of interest to you? Please understand, team participation is not mandatory at club rides. I'm pretty close to having the Team Bonneville (BBTC) jerseys finalized. I'm trying to come up with an estimate on how many jerseys, sizes preferred and how many of you are planning on getting one(or more)? I have a sponsor (Innovamed Inc.) that has put up a substantial amount to cut our price per jersey down. Our cost looks to be between $20-30 after the sponsor's money. I'm hoping these jerseys will be worn at all of the clubs marquee rides (Super Series, Mini-Me, SYWTRAC, etc..) as well as Major rides (Cactus Hugger, Tour De Cure, Lotoja etc..) and of course any others. Many have voiced an opinion as to wanting matching shorts. Shorts will run an additional $45-50. If you would respond promptly to this e-mail and also let me know whether or not you would be interested in shorts it would be greatly appreciated. I believe we will greatly improve the club's exposure with this and also improve our cycling. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, Brent Williams-Team BBTC coordinator
