Summit Bikers Ice Cream Social to Ute Pass ride - 2010
Next week’s ride will be to Ute Pass, with a picnic afterward at the home of Bob and Jay Gilson in Hamilton Creek, Silverthorne. Meet at the base of Ute Pass Rd, where it intersects with Rt 9 ready to ride at 9:30. While waiting for the ride to start, make sure you stay clear of the road which gets some truck traffic. For those who want to ride from Silverthorne, the info is below. They'll have a propane grill available for those who want to cook. As usual, bring something to eat and drink and something to share. As a special treat, Bob intends to make some ice cream which will go as far as it goes, since we never know how many people will be there. Below are the details from Bob:
I plan to make some ice cream for the Ute Pass post-ride picnic at our house next Monday, 7/19. I expect to have plenty, but you just never know who the professional ice cream eaters are out there. The picnic will be on our deck and in the house, so please leave your bike shoes off at the porch, since we don’t really have a lawn, and the view is prettier from the deck anyway. We have about 6-8 deck chairs and about the same inside. The deck rail is 2x8 flat, so it makes a good rest for a glass or dish.
Ice cream flavors we expect to have:
- Tour de French Vanilla
- Blueberry Cheesecake Swirl
- Orange Dreamsicle
- Coffee Gelato
- Strawberry Daiquiri Sorbet
We do have a very friendly dog named "Kelly" (my wife, Jay, always says, "Her Mom was a German Shepherd and her Dad was a good dog, too.") who thinks anyone who comes over came just to see her. However, she does not get 'people food', so please don't offer her a tidbit or anything which might fall on the floor. The end result is that she doesn't beg for food - just ice cubes and attention. You’ll see her hanging around the ‘magic ice cube machine’
on the front of the refrigerator.
Directions to our house are very easy as follows:
From the Silverthorne Elementary School, which is on Hamilton Creek Road, drive/ride 1.3 miles up Hamilton Creek Road, then turn right onto Crescent Moon Trail. We’re the 4th house on the left and the address is: 0137 Crescent Moon Trail. For those of you who know Roger and Sue Paluska, they live in the first house on the left of the same road.
We give extra points for those who ride up to the house, but if you’re driving, we have room for some 8-10 cars to park just beyond our driveway in a cul-de-sac; plus you can park along one side of the road to allow others from the few houses beyond us to get past. About 6 can park in our driveway, but you’ll have to back down to get out. If you're concerned, just carpool up from the elementary school. Or, this is where the extra points for riding up the hill come into play.
For those who want to ride from Silverthorne, I'll see you at the elementary school at 8:30 for departure about 8:40 next Monday morning so we can ride up Highway 9 to Ute Pass Road for the ride. If you plan to ride from the school, please email me so we know who'll be there. My email is: bob@aim-okc.com
Bob and Jay Gilson, & Kelly
