Sunday August 29 and Monday August 30 Rides

Hello Summit Bikers,

Sunday afternoon we want to get together to support Summit County's effort to
get a stage of next years Quizno's Challenge Pro Bike Race.  Please wear your
Summit Bikers Jersey to show our colors to the race coordinators.  The hope is
to show them that Summit County supports biking in a big way and having a stage
of the race go through Summit County will receive a lot of support.  All rides
should start at 4 pm, riding clockwise and those people that do not mind riding
the road should use it for more visibility.  The exception is between
Breckenridge and Frisco where the path can be seen from the road and traffic at
that time of day may be heavy.  Going up Swan Mountain the path is safer as
well.  People can start from one of three locations.  If you live in
Breckenridge start at Kingdom Park just south of the recreational center.  Rich
Oshlo will be leading.  If you live in Frisco go from the marina.  Others can
meet me at the amphitheater parking lot.  After biking Margaret and I going
to Backcountry Brewery in Frisco to show our appreciation for them providing the
beer for the Circle the Summit Ride.

Regarding Monday's ride, we will meet in Dillon at the amphitheater parking lot
ready to roll at 9:30.  For many of our summer visitors this may be one of their
last rides so  this is a great location to start.  From there we have many
options as most of you know.  The main group will go to Montezuma, however you
may take a different route if you want.  Bonnie will have a grill going  so
bring something to cook and a dish to share with your friends. 


A short note on Margaret, who had an epidural shot to reduce swelling in her
spinal cord on  Friday.  This seems to be working as she now has feeling in her
left leg to her foot .  This has been a major problem for the last year and we
now have hope things will continue to improve over the next month or two.
