R[Summit Biking] Monday - October 7th Ride - Green Mountain Reservoir - 10AM Start
Hello Summit Bikers,
We had 7 riders last week, 5 rode to A-Basin and 2 rode to Montezuma. "And a good time was had by all" as they say in small towns in the Midwest.
Next week's ride, October 7, 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. Plan to be ready to ride at 10 am. It looks to be cool at the start, so wear layers.
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. We ride around the reservoir on the West side and return the same way. 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.
I've never done the ride, but it looks like it will be about 22 miles total or so. Looking forward to it.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks and ride safe,
Jim Smith

Hello Summit Riders,
This week's ride, 9/30 will be to either Montezuma, A-Basin, or Loveland Pass. Your choice!! We will meet at the Dillon Amphitheater Parking lot ready to ride at 9:30 AM. Weather looks to be nice, but dress for a chilly start.
It looks like the rec path to Keystone is now open, given the late season and smaller group taking this route should be fine. Anyone not familiar with the ride should let me know at the start.
If Montezuma is your chosen option, please do not gather in the middle road at the top of Montezuma Rd. When you turn around in Montezuma to return stay off to the right side of the road. For those who want do a little more ride proceed out to Keystone Ranch on return.
I suggest we meet up at the entrance to Keystone River Run on the way out, from there we can disperse into different groups for the ride options.
This is my first time leading a ride and I haven't been to many this year due to some issues back in MN. So don't be offended it I ask you your name multiple times. 😊
Bring a sandwich or something to eat post ride at Dillon if you would like.
Thanks and ride safe,
Jim Smith

Bike Ride 9/23
Sunday, September 15
Re: [Summit Biking] September 16 - Ute Pass Ride
- Anyone who shows up at North Pond will be met by my husband Glenn who will likely ride with you to the intersection of Ute Pass Road and Co-9N. Ride as far toward the top as you would like and return to North Pond to join Glenn for lunch.
- Please be careful on this ride. While the shoulder of Co-9N is wide, the cars and trucks go pretty fast and they generally aren't looking for cyclists on the side.
Hello Summit Bikers,On Monday, September 16, we will ride from North Pond Park to the top of Ute Pass Road and back.There will be two starting points:***Bonus Miles: Once you reach the top of Ute Pass Road, you can bag a few additional miles by cruising downhill (about 2-ish miles) to Henderson Mill. Turn around for a few more uphill miles on your way back to the Pond. RT mileage from North Pond to Henderson Mill is 36.6 miles.***
- 9:30 AM start at North Pond Park (108 Hamilton Creek Rd, Silverthorne) - this is a 10.3-mile ride on Co-9N to the Ute Pass Road turnoff. We will be riding on a wide shoulder that is sprinkled with gravel, so be mindful. Blinking tail lights and bright clothing are encouraged--anything to make the group more visible on the highway.
- 10:00 AM start at the Ute Pass Road and Co-9N intersection - this start point offers ample parking; it is a shorter ride but is mostly uphill (about 5 or 6 miles to the top parking lot).
We will have a picnic at North Pond following the ride. Please bring something to share with your fellow riders as well as a drink and sandwich for yourself.My cell # is 303-638-2549 if you have questions or issues. I will send out another email in case of inclement weather or a change of plans.See you on Monday!Betsy
