I don't know more than a couple of you from heaven (just as you don't know me from hell). That said, I believe there's always room for dark humor. In many respects (too many), these are dark times in a dark world. And it's not humor unless there's an element of truth. Who disagrees: Emigration Canyon is one of the very best places for a mellow climb, yet almost every ride some car cutting corners tries to wipe you out! With the experience under my belt of inspiring one BBTC member to quit the club last year when attempting to make a humorous remark via this list serve with absolutely NO ill will intended, I'd suggest that we all take a deep breath and remember who our friends are. To paraphrase that immortal philosopher, Red Green, we're all in this together. john pace, slc -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Marvin the Martian" <marvin1(a)solsystems.ws> I don't think is was in good taste given the recent and annual deaths on the roadways. I know it was meant in jest, but even I think this crosses the line. As for the signals in Emigration, we just need to deal with it, they are making it SAFER for all of us, my understanding is that we will have bike lanes all the way from the zoo to the City/County line. If you don't like it, ride somewhere else for a couple of months.

Adding a signal takes the most dangerous part of the most popular ride and adds a degree of self satisfaction for surviving it, when others will surely perish. Should we start a pool to bet on the death rates? maybe something like: 1. "first fatality" prize pool 2. "closest total fatality count during the construction" prize pool 3. 30:1 pay off for being the first, middle, or last fatality, to be awarded to a designee of your choice All, I am going to try and lead a ride from 6th south to 90th south on I15th, sometime around dusk, if anyone is interested. In rides like that their is definitely safety in numbers, so try not to fall behind. Good Luck, John On Wed, 2006-04-26 at 13:14 -0600, Rob MacLeod wrote: Thanks Dan! One more detail.

Dan Bergenthal asked me to convey to you all who ride Emigration that the new construction signals are in place for widening the road. IMPORTANT: Going down hill, STOP at the light if it is red, you WILL encounter oncoming traffic uphill. This is VERY dangerous for you and just irritates the locals even more.

[BBTC Ride_calendar] Sunday Ride
by Andrew McCool 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

BBTC'rs, Anyone interested in a carpool/caravan to Tim Shea's club ride ride this Sunday? Let me know, we can meet at 8:30 at Sugarhouse park to travel to Grantsville. It's easy to hit I-80 west from there. Anyone in the east side SCL , or coming down from PC can meet up and travel together. Don't let the fact that it's in Grantsville scare you, it's not as far as Antelope Island, or Wanship for the Chalk Creek. Mostly, it's a new and different road to ride! One more time- Sugarhouse Park, 8:30 am Sunday 4-30 to carpool/caravan to Tim's ride! If you are going to meet up with us, email me at mccoolthecyclist(a)yahoo.com. McCool 220-0677 --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail goes everywhere you do. Get it on your phone.

by Rob Y. 12 Apr '06

Hello everyone, I'm sorry I haven't posted this reminder sooner. The deadline for posting rides on the May calendar is fast approaching! The cut off for your ride to be eligible for club miles is April 15th. April's calendar comes on strong with 62 rides posted in time for club miles and a couple of late additions to add to the great variety of rides available with the club this month. A big THANK YOU to all the ride leaders stepping up to share some great rides with everyone, and welcome to the new leaders sharing rides with the club, we look forward to riding your rides. We also would like to extend to everyone to share one or more of your favorite rides with the club, the ride leading guidelines are posted on our club's website and scheduling your ride on the calendar is very simple, just click on "Schedule a Ride" and fill in the fields. All rides must be posted by the 15th of the month for the following month to be eligible for club miles. We are still in need of ride leaders for 2 of the Super Series rides, the Up & Over on Sat June 17th and Promontory on Sun Aug 20th (we are flexible with this date since the ULCER is on the 19th) Again, Thank You to everyone! Pedal Fast and Laugh Often, Cap'n Rob
