June 25 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next week, June 25 we are doing Tour De Soda.  Plan to meet at North Pond in Silverthorne at 9:30 am ready to ride.  North Pond is across from the elementary school North of Silverthorne.  We will have a grill so plan to bring something to grill, as well as something to share and drink. 

The route takes us to the River Run Area of Keystone,  then out to the Old Ranch House, through Soda Creek and back to North Pond.  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 " * ".  There are a number of turns but once you ride through it is not that complicated.

There are lots of new members this year and I ask each of you to make a special effort to make them fell welcome.  Wear name tags so people get to know each other better.
