August 8 Ride -- Double Swan Mountain -- and Tech Talk

Hello Summit Bikers,

Turquoise Lake was beautiful and the rain held off.

This week we have a special treat arranged for everyone.  We will meet at Team Managers near the Holiday Inn (along the Dam Road, close to Frisco).  Stewart Voutour of Team Managers will be giving a tech talk about adjusting derailers at 9 am in the paring lot.  If you are like me I seem to always make things worse when I try to make an adjustment.  The ride will start at 9:30 am, after the tech talk.  The original plan was to ride around the lake but with the Dam being shut this is not possible.  The new plan is to ride over Swan Mountain and to River Run at Keystone and to return again via Swan Mountain to Team Managers between 11:30 and noon.  Stewart has been good enough to arrange with the Holiday Inn Sports Bar to provide lunch for a 20 percent discount.  In addition, a free beer will be included.  For those who do not want to ride Swan Mountain the option is to ride to Breckenridge and return ,riding on to the Dam construction if you arrive back before 11:30 and want to have lunch.  I will try to get an idea of the people who intend to come back for lunch prior to the ride so let someone know if you plan to start the ride early.

If there are any emergencies on the ride I can be contacted at 970 333-1806.  Do not leave a message as I do not listen to them.

Ride safe and have fun!
