Hello Summit Bikers,
Next week we will meet at 9:30 ready to ride, in the amphitheater parking lot in Dillon. The ride will be a choice of down the trail all the way through Keystone to the River Run area or ride on route 6, if you prefer. Note the path does make a right turn over the Snake River just before Keystone Lake area. Once you reach River Run (some may want to ride toward Montezuma for a couple of miles) you can return on the road which goes through the Mountain House area and pass the stables. Continue on to the Old Ranch House Road in Keystone. The road to the ranch house is the one that goes straight where most of us walk our bikes through the gate (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, turn around and return to the amphitheater for a picnic. We will have a grill available so plan to bring what you would like to grill, a dish to share and your drink. Plan to be back at the for the picnic around noon.
Use caution if you ride the path through Keystone as many tourist are here, however riding along the Snake River is beautiful. Space between riders along with verbal communication and hand signals reduces the risk of accidents. Never pass a rider to the right unless you are sure they are aware you are doing that.
I plan to be out of the county August 24 through September 22, so if anyone wants to step up and organize the group doing that time contact me at bikebreck@yahoo.com.
Ride safe and have fun!
John Bowyer
