Hello Summit Bikers,
Next week's ride, June 20, will be the Green Mountain Reservoir. This ride was canceled previously due to snow and there is a chance for showers Monday, but it looks like in the afternoon. The start of the ride is at the intersection of Route 9 and Heeney Road, approximately 20 miles north of Silverthorne. 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. This is the only Summit County ride with rolling hills as you ride on the west side of the reservoir. Pay attention as there are some potholes and a rough spot or two.
Afterwards, 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 a sandwich (as we will not have a grill). Be sure to wear name tags, especially at the picnic. Keep in mind your coordinator (me) is really old and forgetful. We do not rent the facility so hopefully it will not be in use.
For new people the rule is if it is raining at 9 am do not bother going. One other thing if you are not sure if you have paid or not, just send an email to Chip Babbit (cdbabbitt@comcast.net).
I do need help to run the bikes rides, as I am trying to phase out. It is fairly easy to coordinate. Ride coordinators are especially needed after August 20, when I will be gone for a month.
