Hello Summit Bikers,
It was great to see so many show up for the Idaho Springs to Georgetown Ride. Except for the wind I think we all had a good time.
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 9:30 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. Afterwords, we will have a picnic at North Pond in Silverthorne. North Pond is across from the elementary school at the corner of Hamilton Creek Road and Route 9. Please bring something to share with your friends, whatever you want to drink and something to grill as we will have a grill.
This is a fun ride to bring a guest along since it is an out and back and difficult to get lost on.
The next two weeks I am out of town so someone else will be sending out the emails. On 6/24 the ride will leave from Dillon Marina and go to either Montezuma or Loveland Pass.
Track your miles on http://www.endomondo.com/campaign/national/. Last year we were one of the top cycling clubs in the nation and if we get the group tracking this year we should do well again. So far very few have signed up for the SummitBiking Team. am. If you are tracking double check that you are associated with the Summit Biking Team.
I still need volunteers for July 13 and 14 to course marshal for the triple bypass. If you have a few hours either day respond back to me at bikebreck@yahoo.com.
Ride safe and have fun!
John Bowyer
