August 11 Bike Ride and Yearly Meeting

Hello Summit Bikers,

It was fortunate we rode this morning so we missed the down pour.

Next week we will meet at 9:30 ready to ride, at the amphitheater in Dillon.  The ride will be either down the trail all the way through Keystone to the River Run area or on route 6, if you prefer. Once in River Run return on the road which goes through the Mountain House area and pass the stables.  Continue on to the Old Ranch House in Keystone.  The road to the ranch house is the one that goes straight where most of us walk our bikes through the fence (River Golf Course).  The road has some rolling hills and turns left just before you get to the Ranch Restaurant.  If you get to the restaurant you missed the turn by 100 yards.  When you get to a gate and dirt road, return to the amphitheater for a picnic and the yearly meeting.  We will have a grill available so plan to bring what you would like to grill, a dish to share and your drink.  The picnic starts around 11:30 with the yearly meeting following around noon.  Both will be held at the pavilion (where we normally have the picnic).

Use caution if you ride the path through Keystone as many tourist are still around, however riding along the Snake River is beautiful.  Space between riders along with verbal communication and hand signals reduces the risk of accidents.

Ride safe and have fun!
