Hey BBTC! Well the weather sure did a 180 this past week, eh! It looks like we have a few more days before it starts warming up again so be prepared for the changing temps and dress in layers. Before we know it the resorts will be open and we'll making turns in the powder instead of on the streets. Let me know if you would like to see club ski days and what days would work best and we'll see what we can put together. In the meantime let's get what miles we can on our bikes. Lyle is leading Emigration tomorrow and Malcolm is climbing Millcreek this week, don't forget your lights and a jacket for the descents! Brent's got a nice loop happening in the south end of the valley and add Doug's Bike and Brew and Thursday can give you some nice miles for the day. The colors are beginning to peak in the mountains and Friday, Saturday and Sunday offer some great scenic riding, Donna is showing off Big Cottonwood Canyon and Don is leading Randy's Fall Color Classic. There are only two mini me's left and Sunday's is a no traffic ride up to Lost Creek and back.
