July 1 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next weeks ride, July 1, will be the Green Mountain Reservoir. The start of the ride is at the intersection of Route 9 and Heeney Road, approximately 20 miles north of Silverthorne (If you can see the reserviour you have driven too far.). Plan to be ready to ride at 9:30 am. Most of the parking is on route 9 at the intersection with Heeney Road. Be careful crossing route 9 as it is a busy road. Heeney Road is not very busy but it is a road with some traffic and people are encouraged to ride single file near the shoulder.  I realize we did this ride a few weeks ago, but normally due to a high number of visitors we do not ride July 4 week.  I chose Green Mountain since it is away from most of the visitors and with July 4 on a Thursday most campers will come up for a long weekend on the Fourth.

Afterwords, we will have a picnic at North Pond in Silverthorne. North Pond is across from the elementary school at the corner of Hamilton Creek Road and Route 9. Please bring something to share with your friends, whatever you want to drink and sandwich.  We will not have a grill this week. Be sure to wear name tags, especially at the picnic.

This is a fun ride to bring a guest along since it is an out and back and difficult to get lost on.

Ride Safe!
