August 15 Ride -- Green Mountain Reservoir

Hello Summit Bikers,

The derailer talk given by Team Managers was well attended last week.  For those that would like to get a closer look at just what to adjust on your bike stop by the store some time, identify yourself as with Summit Biking and ask your questions.  It would be better to go in with a few friends so we are not going in one at a time.  In addition, Team Managers asked me to pass along that on Thursday afternoon they have a ride from their store starting around 5:30.  They ride various places depending on who shows up.  Thank you Stewart and Brad for taking the time to show us a few things as well as arranging the lunch deal at the Holiday Inn.

This week's ride will be Green Mountain Reservoir.  To get to the start drive about 17 miles south of the I 70 route 9 intersection at Silverthorne north towards Steamboat.  Parking is located mostly on the right side of route 9 at Heeny Road (Heeny Road goes to the left).  Be careful crossing the road as there is high speed traffic.  Be ready to ride at 9:30 am.  For those who would like to carpool meet at the North Pond parking lot in Silverthorne by 8:45 am.  The picnic will be at North Pond after the ride.  North Pond is located on the right side of route 9 as you leave Silverthorne across from the elementary school.  It is at the corner of Hamilton Creek and route 9.  We will have a grill available. So plan to bring whatever you want to cook as well as something to share with your friends as well as to drink.  We will plan to be back at North Pond around 11:45 am to noon.

My cell phone does not work around Green Mountain so I suggest you team up with a friend.

Our web site has a lot of information including a calendar of all our rides as well as a large amount of safety information.  Visit www.Summitbiking.org to see this information and pass the link on to others that may have an interest in riding in the Summit.

Ride safe and have fun.
