Hey BBTC!

What’s happening this week? Why the ULCER of course! If you aren’t riding it, are you helping with it? This is the last of our major rides of the season and we are working towards another big success that will leave everyone talking and praising. Everything is coming together and we are in the final countdown. Do we still need help? You bet! Want to help mark out the courses? Give me a call. One of the most visible and rewarding positions on the volunteer board is that of SAG. We are still in need of SAG drivers, if you haven’t done this before it’s a lot of fun. You are out there with the riders and supporting them when they flat or have a breakdown or maybe they just can’t make those few miles to the next rest stop. Pass on some words of encouragement or maybe a joke that will give them a laugh and an unexpected burst of energy to make that last mile needed to complete a new personal best. Come on out and support your club by riding and helping to make this the best ULCER yet, one of the oldest continually held cycling event in Utah!!

See you Saturday! And “Pedal Fast and Laugh Often”
