August 26 Bike Ride

Our August 26 ride takes place from the South end of Breckenridge Recreational Center.  This ride offers us a chance to see the work on restoring the Swan River and the Highlands area of Breckenridge.  Please print the directions below and bring them.  New this week we will try two start times.  Those riders that expect to need more time ( the slower group) should plan to start at 9:30 and others will start at 10.  The system of starting early has been going on for some time and this will give us a chance to formalize it.  Roberta Dakan will start the 9:30 riders and I will be there for the 10 am group.  Please bring a sandwich, something to share and your drink.  I think the ride should be about 2 hours, thus plan for the picnic to start at 11:45 to noon.

I have heard about a couple of bike accidents recently involving experienced cyclist.  It is easy to loose your concentration but the consequences can be painful, so be careful.

Ride Safe and have fun!!
