Fw: The Denver Post Ride The Rockies Announces 2020 Route

Hello Summit Bikers;

Ride the Rockies has announced their 2020 ride.  In years past Summit Biking has fielded many riders on this week long adventure.  The ride is well organized and goes through most of the more beautiful areas to ride in our state.  For those just too tired to go on there are even SAG wagons to assist.  The purpose of this email to judge the interest to form a team for the 2020 ride.  I will not be able to participate this year as the weekend the ride finishes I will be on the Grand Canyon rafting.

If you have an interest or think you might want to do this great ride drop me an email at bikebreck@yahoo.com.  If you want to give the ride a try but feel a week commitment may be too much try the two day ride.  If this is your interest indicate it in your email to me. If enough are interested I will submit a team application for the ride.  Although this email only goes to Summit Biking, others can join our team, so if you have friends that want to go let me know as well.

Bike Season is just around the corner.  You have to love Summit County, no more than you start one sport than it is time to start thinking about the next.

John Bowyer
