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,

Bike Ride 9/23

Hello Summit Bikers:

The snow did not develop so we are good for a ride tomorrow September 23.  Let's meet at Dillion Amphitheater at 10 am.  Dress warm!  The ride is around the lake and then up to Copper Mountain.  The leaves in Ten Mile Canyon are near their peak so this is a wonderful ride this time of year, with most tourist gone doing the week.  For those that desire to stay for a picnic plan to bring a sandwich and drink.  I will be unable to stay.

There will be two more rides this season, if the weather last.  This will be my last ride for the season, as I am out of the country.

Ride Safe!

Re: [Summit Biking] September 16 - Ute Pass Ride

Hey Everyone,

I was called out of state due to family matters this weekend. In other words, I cannot lead the Ute Pass ride tomorrow. If any of you would like to step up and lead, please let me know by this evening so we can get the communication out. As it stands, I'm not calling off the ride, I am simply turning it into a D.I.Y. (AKA "you're on your own if you do it") ride. A couple of details:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
Sorry to not be there. I was looking forward to cycling with you tomorrow.

Thanks,
Betsy

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:  
  1. 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. 
  2. 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). 
***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.***

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!

Fw: [Summit Biking] Monday - August 22 Ride

Hi Jim,

A good ride for September 30 is to Montezuma or Loveland Pass.  This ride was scheduled earlier this year but was canceled.  Below is a sample write up.  Change as necessary.  I will send out the October 7 ride next.

When you send out to the group, use Summitbiking@googlegroups.com in the To line.  Also do a BCC using summitbiking.8VAhc-3usR2pZC@blogger.com.  The second address goes to the bog, and we try to keep others from posting so we keep the address secret.

John

Hello Summit Riders,

Next 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  10 AM.

I suggest avoiding the rec path through Keystone as more tourists may make it busy.  The suggested way is to turn right on Elk Drive going through the fence to Keystone Ranch Road and going left through the River Run Area of Keystone (groups often gather back up in River Run since this is convenient for bathroom and water) to Montezuma Road and then to Montezuma.  Anyone not familiar with this route should let me know so we can match you up with another rider.  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 will have picnic supplies so please bring a sandwich and your drink.  Covid has seemed to stifle our after-bike-ride picnics and sharing of some of our favorite dishes.  I always thought that was a fun part of the ride!  Even though covid is still with us, I think most of us feel pretty comfortable being around each other in the outdoors.  Please join us for lunch and bring something to share.  This Monday is our annual meeting so I'm hopeful that everyone can attend and enjoy the meeting and lunch together. 

Please wear name tags from any organization to the picnic if you have them. 


Thanks and ride safe,

September 9 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

This weeks ride (September 9) will meet at the Dillon Amphitheater parking lot ready to ride at 10 (time change due to cold morning) and challenge the hills of Silverthorne.  There are many turns but most of them are easy to follow once you riding the route. The recpath does go by the outlets (watch for walkers) and the route does cross Route 9 twice so caution is advised. Please print this out and have for the ride. If lost ride downhill as the recpath is along the Blue River.

A change this year: Please do not ride to Lakeview Circle (at the top of Hamilton Creek).  This is a private road and we have been requested not to ride on it.

Dillon Amphitheater – Start
Go toward the dam
Stay on Silverthorne path
to N. Pond
Rt End of Path (Allegra Dr)
Rt at stop sign (Hamilton Cr Rd)
Continue on Hamilton Creek Road
DO NOT RID UP LAKEVIEW CIRCLE
Rt on Bald Eagle
Cross Rt 9 to Golden Eagle (Careful)
Lt on Falcon Dr.
Lt on Golden Eagle
Lt on Two Cabins
Rt on Arnica Ln
Lt on Currant Way (easy to miss)
Lt on Hunters Knob Rd
St on Maryland Creek Trail (to Summit Sky)
At T Lt on Maryland Creek Road
Lt on Maryland Creek Lane
Rt on Rt 9
Lt at N. Pond
Rt on Allegra Dr.
Lt on Recpath
Return to Start

Please bring something to eat and share with your fellow bikers, after the ride.  I suspect now that we are in September our numbers will be reduced but it should still be a great ride.

Ride safe!

No Ride September 2 -- Need Some Ride Leaders

Hello Summit Bikers,

There will be no bike ride September 2, as it is Labor Day, and the bike paths will be very busy.  I suggest staying off of bike paths until after Labor Day.  Last weekend I was at top of Vail Pass and some of the largest groups of downhill only riders were preparing to come down.  They will be everywhere in the County.

We need some volunteers to lead rides until the end of the season.  Please contact me at Bikebreck@yahoo.com.  Do not reply to Summit Biking.

Ride safe or skip the ride this week.

John Bowyer
