[BBTC Ride_calendar] Sunday morning coffee ride
by Shanna Matheson 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Looks like the high tomorrow will be a freezing 25 degrees. That is too cold for me so I am canceling the Sunday morning coffee ride. Stay home in your warm beds and we'll hope for warmer weather next week, maybe into the 30s? Shanna

[BBTC Ride_calendar] ULTRA Tandem Ride (Dec 2)
by Eric UNCK 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Hi All, Due to forecasted temps of 18 degrees at the 9:00 ride start and getting to only 25 or so at best during the ride, the ULTRA Tandem Ride has been cancelled. I'm thinking it's more of a "sit in front of the fire with a nice cup of coffee or cocoa and a book" kind of day. We'll try again later, Eric Unck

Hey Hey Hey BBTC!!! For those of you that didn't make it, our Banquet was a fun time with Great Food, Great Friends and cool prizes. I would love to see our numbers double for next year!! It's a light week on the calendar so make the most of it. The weather looks good enough for both Saturday and Sunday so, Let's Ride!! On another note, if you wear a medium in men's or lady's cycling clothing, you need to head up to Pearl Izumi. They just received a ton of their salesmen's' samples (medium only) and the tops are 50% off and the bottoms are 25% off. This is next season's line so you can have the latest clothing before it hits the racks in the spring, go check it out. I hope to see everyone that decided to not go to Tucson on Saturday, keep in mind there will be approx. 3500 ft. of climbing throughout the ride. Pedal Fast and Laugh Often!

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Ruff Road!
by Andrew McCool 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

BBTC, For the sake of us all, please help with thisÂ Last week I attended a meeting of the Salt Lake Mayors Advisory Committee. First of all we discussed the recent closure of the frontage road out to Salt Aire. This is only a temporary inconvenience so even though a little better communication would have been better; it isnÂt something we need to focus on. But, we also discussed the degrading quality of the road surface where it is concrete. The stretch with the big potholes. We ALL need to fire off a letter to the city now so they will improve that section. The ball is rolling; it just needs a little more push. Please help! They have been out to the section to inspect it, but I don't think they realize how many people use it. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this. Below is the address to send you suggestions. I think that letters are best, email is OK, and phone calls are better then nothing. Please be succinct and courteous in your correspondence, and if you have any additional questions donÂt hesitate to call or email me. Thanks all McCool If you would like to call to complain about the condition of a roadway the phone number is 535-6999. If you want to send an email, send it to the Mayor s office and it will be routed to the appropriate people Mayor(a)slcgov.com. If you want to mail a letter, address it to. Jordan B.

Hey BBTC!! I've been so busy trying to get ready for the banquet, I have forgotten to put out our weekly email for the past couple of weeks. Of course, the highlight of the week is our annual banquet / membership meeting this Friday at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy. This is where we have a great dinner, recognize all the great achievements of our members and vote for our new board of directors. It should prove to be a great night out. I look forward to seeing everyone there! As our thoughts are turning towards cold weather and snow in the mountains, and as we start tuning and waxing our skis for the opening of the ski season next week, let's not forget that there is still plenty of good weather here in the valley and a great time to still log some miles on the road! John's Veteran's day ride on Friday up north is a great ride, in fact he likes it so much you can do it again on Saturday with him. Tim is becoming a regular on the schedule with his inter-urban ride on Sunday or break up your day and join Shanna for a spin and some coffee, then head up to Jeanne's burn off brunch ride. And in case I forget to get out next weeks email, come on out and join me for my Tucson flunkies ride in honor of all our members that will be in the warm weather of Arizona riding the Tour de Tucson. Rich's bagels are pretty good and Bob is leading us on a nice east bench loop followed by coffee and bagels on Sunday.
