September 30 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
As most of you realized the weather was not great last week and although a few did show up and ride. We are going to try the ride again next Monday.  We will meet at the Dillon Amplitheatre for a ride around the lake with an extension to Copper for the faster group.  Plan to meet ready to ride at 10 am. This will allow it to warm up a little. We will have picnic afterward (around 12 to 12:15) with a grill so plan to bring something to cook as well as to share with others.
 
Use hand signals, ride safe and have fun!

September 24 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
We had a great crowd last week,including 5 new people.  This week we will meet at the Dillon Amplitheatre for a ride around the lake with an extension to Copper for the faster group.  Plan to meet ready to ride at 10 am.  This will allow it to warm up a little.  We will have picnic afterward (around 12 to 12:15) with a grill so plan to bring something to cook as well as to share with others. 
 
This is the last ride on the schedule for the year, however others may be held if the weather holds.  A survey is planned shortly to get feedback from the group on changes we made this year so please respond when requested.
 
Use hand signals, ride safe and have fun!

September 18 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers:
 
Hope to see you on a much dryer Tuesday morning for a ride around Green Mountain Reservoir.  The start time is 10 am at the corner of Route 9 and Heeny Road. Those that want to ride from Bob Giordano's house can meet at 9 am there. The picnic will also be at Bob's.  See previous email for directions.  Park on the right side of the street only above Bob's house.

Monday Ride Changed to Tuesday September 18

Several people have said it would be better to move this weeks ride to Tuesday, September 18, therefor that is what we are going to do.  All the details stay the same.
 
Next weeks ride will be the Green Mountain Reservoir. The start of the ride is at the intersection of Route 9 and Heeney Road, approximately 20 miles north of Silverthorne. Plan to be ready to ride at 10:00 am. Most of the parking is on route 9 at the intersection with Heeney Road. Be careful crossing route 9 as it is a busy road. Heeney Road is not very busy but it is a road with some traffic and people are encouraged to ride single file near the shoulder. This is the only Summit County ride with rolling hills as you ride on the west side of the reservoir. Bob Giordano will be riding from his house at 9 am and others are invited to park there if they want the extra distance. I plan to be riding and be at the intersection of Route 9 and Heeney Road.
There will be a picnic at Bob's house (175 Game Creek Trail) after the ride. He will have a grill available so plan to bring something for lunch, to share with your friends as well as something to drink. To get to Bob's house, coming back from Green Mountain Reservoir, turn right on Ranch Road and left on Game Trail. His number if you need it is 468-2515.
Remember to use hand signals, ride safe and have fun!

Subject: September 10 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
Next weeks ride will be from Idaho Springs to Georgetown and back. Some riders may want to go on to either Silver Plume or Loveland Ski Area and return. We will meet at the Courtney Riley Cooper Park in Idaho Spring at 10 a.m. ready to ride. To get to the park take exit 240 from I 70, turn left on 13 Ave (towards town). At Colorado Boulevard go right. The park is on the left next to the creek. The drive takes about 45 minutes. We will have a grill so bring something to cook and something to share with your friends. As always bring what you would like to drink.
 
As I am still on the road to recovery Bob Giordano has agreed to lead this ride.
