First Ride of 2011

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
If you have not done it yet it is time to take the bike down and make sure everything is in working order.
 
The first ride of the season will be held Monday, May  23 at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood just off route 470. The ride will begin at 10 am from the Skunk Hollow picnic area in the park. Two rides are available either along Bear Creek to the Platte River or a loop up to Lookout Mountain and back. We will have a grill for those wanting to cook. Please bring something to share and of course whatever you want to drink.  Plan to stay after and enjoy some sun by the lake.  If there is a high risk of rain an email will be sent out Sunday afternoon canceling this ride.  We do not want to have people drive an hour for a rain out.
 
Bear Creek Park is just over an hour drive from exit 205 on I 70. Go east on I 70 toward Denver . At 470 go south and take the Morrison Road exit on the right. At the stop light go left under 470. Bear Creek Lake Park is on the right in about a 1 mile. There is a cost per car to enter the park, $4 for seniors, $5 for all others. Take the first right after the entrance and Skunk Hollow is on the right.
