June 24 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next week, June 24 we are doing Tour De Soda.  Plan to meet at Dillon Amphitheater at 9:30 am, ready to ride.  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, out to the Old Ranch House, through Soda Creek and back to our cars.  Please print out the directions below and have them with you.   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.

Return to Start

The route should take about 2 to 2.5 hours.  Lunch and the meeting will be in the picnic area shelter.

I still need assistance to put out picnic supplies.  Please contact me at bikebreck@yahoo.com if willing even for a few weeks.  Two positions on the board will be open soon as well.  Summit Biking has had an impact on our community and we need your help to continue. 

Ride safe!
