Fw: Cycling Trip Available

Hello Summit County Bikers,

Received this today.  While I can not take advantage it sounds like a wonderful trip for two at a greatly reduced price.  If anyone is interested respond back to Deb Garrity at dbgb612@gmail. com.

Hello!

My husband, Roy Burger, is President of the Boulder Cycling Club.  I am reaching out to you on his behalf.

He and I were to be leaving on a great trip May 8th, spending a few days in Madrid and then heading to Majorca to cycle for a week.  Unfortunately, Roy has been wicked sick for almost 4 weeks with a bronchial infection - he coughed so hard he fell 1.5 weeks ago, torqued his ankle which caused ligaments to tear and his fibula to fracture.  His surgery is scheduled for 4/23. Unfortunately on the day he fell we were looking at trip insurance but had not purchased it yet.  Ugh.  So...We are sad to not be able to take this trip!  

However, our loss could be someone else's gain.  We'd love to sell our week in Majorca to two folks for half-price!


Our week is May 12-19.  The cost includes:

  • Round trip airport shuttle
  • Lodging (including tax)
  • Daily coach-led Cycling Rides for all levels of cyclists
  • Shared Van (trips to grocery store, restaurants, etc.)
  • All Breakfasts & Dinners
  • Fit 4 Adventure Cycling Jersey

We are willing to sell ours for $600 each - a savings of $559 pp. 

The cost does not include airfare, which we had found fairly reasonable using British Airways and Iberia (we were using miles on Southwest to get from Denver to Boston). Nor does it include bike rental, which I was able to do for about $125 for the week. 

Whoever goes does not have to ride bikes - they can simply enjoy exploring the island, historical sites, restaurants & beachfront bars, and its beaches!

Thanks for your interest and/or sending this on!!  You can reach Roy at roy@bouldercyclingclub.org or roylburger@gmail.com, or by phone at 303.517.5402.

Thank you!! Debi Garrity Burger

May 14 and 15 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

It is time to take the bikes out of winter storage and prepare for another biking season.  Chains should be clean and lubricated, wheels pumped up, brakes checked and in general make sure everything is tight.  For those bikers not confident in their ability to get their bike to top working order take it in to one of the local bike shops.

Many of our members have either moved or have a second home along the front range so this year we are having a two day ride there, May 14 and 15th.  The first day we will do a ride near Anthem Ranch, with a pot luck picnic dinner in the evening.  Steve Ladin has agreed to lead the first day's ride near Anthem and to host a pot luck dinner together with Sandy Ladin and Bonnie Guthrie.  The second day will be led by Barry Lazarus nearer Denver.  This may be followed by a lunch out, more details to follow.  Since most of us have to make a run to the Front Range for Costco, Applejacks and other needs I encourage you to plan to make those stops as part of this two day ride.  

Possibilities for lodging include, friends at Anthem, or there are a few hotels close by.  In order to plan for this trip we would like to get an idea of those who plan to come.  I am working with members who live in Anthem to see who will be a available and may be willing to lodge some of us for one night.  Please respond to me at Bikebreck@yahoo.com.

Details are still being worked out, however I wanted to give everyone a heads up that things are in the planning stage for another great biking season.

Ride Safe,

John Bowyer
