August 4 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
Judging by the feedback, it sounds like we can add a new route through Silverthorne.  With almost 2,000 feet of gain it will not be an early season ride.

Next week we will once again venture outside Summit County to East Vail and either do Vail Pass or Vail Trail.  The ride will be from Big horn Park in East Vail, starting at 10 am.  There will be a grill available (sorry about the lack of a grill last week) so plan to bring something to cook, a drink and a dish to share with your friends. For those who would like to car pool meet at the west end of Frisco at the parking lot at 9 am.  Multiple rides are available from Big Horn, including West Vail Pass and the Vail Trail trough Vail and on to Minturn.  The picnic will start around noon.

Directions to Big Horn Park: Go West to exit 180 in East Vail. Get off on the right and turn left going under I-70 on Bighorn Road. Go right on Streamside Circle. Stay on Streamside Circle and turn right on Meadow Drive. Bighorn Park is on the left ahead.

Remember the tourist are in town (West Vail also gets many downhill riders), slow down and do not cut corners.  Use those hand signals and let others verbally know where you are.

Our Circle the Summit Ride is coming up August 16 and riders are encouraged to participate and get the word out to others.

Ride safe and have fun!
