[BBTC Ride_calendar] MTB Riding with the BBTC!
by Rob Y. 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hey BBTC! WE have had some great riding this past week up on the BST. Last Monday Jerry B. started a Monday evening ride heading out from the mouth of Emigration and there were six riders that came out to play in the dirt. Then two days ago, Sunday, There was a MTB ride that started out from Popperton Park as part of Salt Lake Bike Week, unfortunately I was the only representative from the BBTC. Eight riders went out on the trail, we had a fun ride with new friends. Last night was our second club ride, unfortunately Jerry couldn't make it so I led the ride in his absence. Five of us hit the trail on a perfect evening and had a fabulous ride. We missed you! Hopefully we will get to see a few new faces coming out to play in the dirt next Monday! Have a great week and I will see everyone tomorrow on the ride of silence. We must come out and show our support to all those that have been injured or died on their bikes. 7pm at the Galivan Center, come early and help stuff packets! Pedal Fast and Laugh Often, and please be safe out there! Rob Y.

Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves. The Ride Of Silence asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There is no brochure, no sponsors, no registration fees and no t-shirt. The ride, which is held during Bike Safety month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those who have been killed or injured. Meet at: The Galavan Center skating rink on 200 South between State and Main.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Hogle Zoo to Chalk Creek Saturday 12 May 07
by Stephen＠TwigsInOurHair.com 11 May '07

11 May '07

There will be a small contingent (maybe just one :-) starting in SLC for Tom's Chalk Creek ride this Saturday. I rode to Hennefer yesterday, and have done my best to calculate a start time of 6:15am that will rendezvous with the Mtn Green group at the junction east of East Canyon reservoir at 9:00am, or failing that, Hennefer at 9:30. We'll continue with the main group to Coalville and the Wyoming border. I'll be returning to Hogle, but you could start in either place and return either place if you can arrange the transportation. We will meet at the parking lot just east of Hogle Zoo at 6:00am. We need to finish signup and be on our way at 6:15am. This will enable a B pace to enjoy small breaks at the summit of Little Mtn, Big Mtn, and the resort grocery store (not sure when it opens in the morning). This ride will be more climbing than the Mtn Green route, and still 130 miles, so we'll climb at a moderate pace. 130 miles / A-B pace / 1 Mt Everest / c Salt Lake City area Stephen R. Higgins 801-608-0861

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Heart Rate Monitor Info?
by Travis & Melody Fisher 08 May '07

08 May '07

I need a heart rate monitor and I really don't know anything about them. Does anyone have some good suggestions on what would be a good one to get? Here's my problem: I've started getting pre-migraine blurry vision after my ride to work. I think I might be pushing too hard and I need to start tracking my heart rate so I know what's going on. Thanks! Travis

I could ride from Contender or Hogle, if anyone wants to go with me. I am doing some of that route tomorrow, so I can estimate how long to the junction or to Hennefer. I would need an estimate when the Mtn Green contingent would reach the junction or Hennefer. If no one else want to do this, I'll start in Mtn Green with the rest of the group. Stephen R. Higgins
