Bike Ride September 30

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next weeks ride, September 30, 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.).  The relax group will start at 10 am and others at 10:30.  As our numbers have dwindle as we move into fall and this is an out and back ride there will only be one sweep, starting with the 10:30 group. 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.  

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 will be my last ride for the 2019 season.  It has been a pleasure coordinating the rides this year.  Hopefully if the weather holds out others will step up to lead rides over the next few weeks.

Ride Safe!

Hello Summit Bikers,
 
The ride September 23 is to Ute Pass. There will be two starting points; North Pond in Silverthorne starting at 9:45 am (faster group perhaps with pace line) or from the bottom of Ute Pass road at 10:30 am (where Ute Pass intersects Route 9).  I plan to leave from Silverthorne, so if I am not at the bottom of Ute Pass at that start go without me.  Ute Pass Road is North of Silverthorne about 7 miles past North Pond.

Please be at either location at the specified times ready to ride with your name tags.  A picnic lunch will follow around 12:30 at North Pond Park.  Please bring something to share as well as your drink and a sandwich.  The grill, however, will not be set up.

Hope to see you there.

Ride Safe,

John Bowyer

Sept 9th Ride

Hi Summit Bikers,
John Bowyer will be out of the County for the next several weeks. In his absence, I will be organizing the next  two Monday 
rides. That being said, the schedule calls for us to head to Vail in order to do Battle Mountain on Sept 9th
(there is no ride this Monday). Given the fact that the long range weather forecast  for the 9th is iffy,
  I'm proposing that we stay on this side of the divide and do a ride from Frisco to Vail Pass.
Let's park in the lot on the west end of Main Street in Frisco. There will be two start times, 9:30 (led by Eric Erslev), and 10AM
for those who wish to ride longer and/or faster. The prescribed ride is 28.5 miles in length with 1800 feet of climbing.
Head out of the parking lot and head up the rec path to Vail Pass, continue over the pass to the gate near Black
Lake, turn around and head back to Frisco, with a short detour behind the gas station taking the rec path spur toward 
Fremont Pass. If you haven't been on that section of the path this year you can observe two of the more spectacular
avalanche shoots that slid this winter. As always feel free to modify the ride in any way that you desire. The after ride picnic (there will be a grill)
will be at the Stoller's house in Frisco, a short distance form the parking lot. I will hand out precise directions as to how to get there
and where to park at the beginning of the rides (9:30 and 10AM). 

As usual bring something to eat and something to share as well as a chair if you have one. An added attraction this week will be a Peach
Cream pie compliments of the now infamous "Pie Man," Stephan Horlak.

See you all on the 9th,

Norm Stoller
