August 12 Meeting and Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
It is that time of year when we have our annual meeting.  The meeting will be held August 12 in Frisco, starting at 11:30 at the old senior center (3rd and Granite, where we hold the CTS ride) after our weekly ride.  Plan to meet in front of the center at 9:30 ready to ride.  The main ride will be through Copper up Vail Pass as far as we can make it without any major delays and return.  Another option is to ride to Breckenridge and return, riding the flat part up towards Copper so you can get in a few miles and still make the meeting.  We will not have a picnic so plan to bring either a sandwich or something to eat during the meeting.
 
As I mentioned at our ride there was recently an interview concerning the CTS ride on Krystal 93.3.  If you would like to go back and listen the interview is on their web site at www.krystal93.com/audio-vault/krystal-conversations/.  Keep in mind that yours truly is not a professional like to other two on the interview.
 
Also, next week several people asked if we could do a tire changing review with Team Managers.  Brad has agreed to come in at 9 am and show those interested the proper technique of changing a tire and getting back to your ride quickly.  Due to extensive experience in the tire changing area I will not be attending.  Please email me at bikebreck@yahoo.com if you plan to come to the review so I can give Brad an idea of how many will come.
 
Ride communication has improved which will make riding safer for all of us.
 
Ride safe!
