[BBTC Ride_calendar] The Big Ride!!!
Big Ride Update- Next Sunday, August 27 will be ÂThe Big RideÂ!!! and "The Little Big Ride"!!! I miss-listed the time in the ride schedule but it has been corrected, both ÂThe Big Ride and ÂThe Little Big Ride start at 7:30 AM. There are multiple distances for this ride so there something for everyone! After scouting the route, I think the long ride turn around will be in Kamas Utah. This avoids Browns Canyon and Park City. The longest option will be 147 miles, close enough to 150. You have the option of going around Sugarhouse Park if you really want to see 150 in you Computer. This ride has a considerable amount of climbing so please be realistic about the distance you chose, and be prepared. Please bring enough clothing and food. You may have the option of stashing some items in the SAG wagon. This one will be T-U-F-F tuff. Distance options are as fallows- 23 miles, turn around at Little Mountain. 40 miles, turn around at Big Mountain. 51 miles, turn around at East Canyon resort store- lots more climbing. 62 miles, turn around before you go up the wall 80 miles, turn around in Henifer. 100 miles, turn around in Coalville. 147 miles, turn around in Kamas. I do want to impose one stipulation Sunset is 8:09 PM so I want a strict Turn around time of 2:00PM. This is roughly halfway point in time and with this much climbing, we need to be prepared. No matter where you are at 2:00PM, turn around! If you plan to be out after dark, good lights are absolutely required! You will be on your own after dark! Yes, I know, IÂm not usually this serious, but I want everyone to have a great ride! Be safe, and use this as a stepping-stone for a successful LOTOJA, Texas Time Trial, or any other ultra- endeavor.

Mary Margaret, You have a bike handling skills class this evening and I was wondering if you could give a list of the topics you are covering on these nights. I of course know everything already, and I believe I have been telling my parents this since early adolesence, but maybe others are interested as well. If you are looking for a list, I have been tossing a few ideas around for titles: 1. "Always spit to the right" or "Make new friends as they pass" 2. "How to pee while cycling" also known as "Why bib shorts suck" 3. "How to ride in a pace line" or "It is easier to keep up than to catch up" 4. "How to survive a high speed crowded turn" or "Fear is a valid killer" 5. "Road rash first aid" and maybe "how to carry a first aid pack and still look cool" 6. "How to recover from a cute girl 'reaching her limit' and trying to push you over" 7. "How to slow down fast riders by begin discussions about their particular brand of shifter" 8. "Riding over road debry" or "Why are they throwing things at me?" In case this email angers please understand that I am not responsible for half of what I say and the other half is what lawyers are for. I'm definitely catching the 'reaching her limit' class, that would have saved me more than once. Thanks, John John Buren Southerland Principal Consultant Southerland Consulting, Inc.
