Hello Summit Bikers,
Next week, August 8 we are having the Summit Biking Annual Meeting and I have planned a new ride for us. Plan to meet at the Dillon Amphitheater at 9:30am ready to ride. The meeting will begin at noon so be sure to be back in plenty of time to eat something and be ready. We will not have a grill so plan to bring a sandwich, as well as something to share and drink.
The new route takes us to the River Run Area of Keystone, then out to the Old Ranch House, through Soda Creek and back to the Amphitheater. Please print out the directions below and have them with you. The route will take many of you to places you have not ridden. I will ask some riders to post at a few of the turns so hopefully people do not get lost. If you are asked to post wait for about 10 riders then ask another to post. Places where riders will be asked to post are shown with an " * ".
