Hey BBTC! WOW! It was a great weekend of riding, wasn't it! And we have another full week of great rides ahead. In addition to all the before and after work rides, there are some great day time rides for those that can get out and ride some big rides on a weekday. Tom has the Big Mtn Redux as well as mtnbiking at Snowbasin and John McCool has is over the hump day ride. Elton's mtnbike ride on Sunday is must do on some awesome singletrack and most of the climbing is done just driving up to his house. This Saturday is the last in Jen's series "So You Want to Ride a Century" and then its what you all have been working towards, the "ULCER". Speaking of the ULCER, has everyone registered yet? If you want a tee-shirt and a jersey in time for the ride, you need to register ASAP. And, if you aren't planning on riding the ULCER, we sure could use your help as a volunteer! Anyway, the temperatures are cooling and the options abound for riding, so get out in the saddle and have a GREAT week!
