Monday July 2 Ride

The Club will not have a regular Monday ride, due to the holiday.

I will be leading a group ride as an alternative.  This will be a show and go ride, with frequent regrouping to keep us together.  There will be no drops, and the faster riders will support the slower riders.  Emphasis on team and safety aspects.

The initial grouping will be in Silverthorne at the base of the switch backs and ball field behind the outlets at 8:45AM.  We will pick up more riders at the parking lot next to the amphitheater at 9AM.  The route will be the rec path to Elk Run, then past the stables and science center in Keystone, rest room stop in River Run.  Then up Montezuma, and back along same route.  Some may choose to return by going over Swan Mountain, past the hospital and back along the rec path.  This route may be a bit crowded with vacationers.

We will also ride Wednesday, July 4th from the Silverthorne Elementary School, up Ute Pass, thus no rec paths with the crowds.  This ride will start at 9:00AM.

Friday's Ride

We had an excellent ride today, 7 of us.  

Let's head north on Friday, leaving Silverthorne Elementary School parking lot at 9AM -- heading up to Ute Pass.  This is a show and go ride, with a pace of about 15 to 17 mph.  Total distance is roughly 31 miles. 

We will regroup frequently, and keep the group together.  This is a NO DROP ride.  The group may divide into faster and slower paced groups.

Any questions, give me a call or email.

Hello Al,

 

My name is Heidi Kunzek, I am on the board of the CMC "Peak to Peak" Speaker Series. On Friday, I met a fellow biker of yours at the Dillon Farmers Market and she stated that you may be a good person to contact about our upcoming speaker. In conjunction with Breckenridge Bike Week we will be hosting guest speaker Shawn Hunter CEO of the USA Pro Challenge. I imagine that this would be of great interest to the Summit Biking group. I have attached a flier for your information to pass on to your biking club.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you!

Wednesday Ride,yes

The Wednesday ride season is underway.  Simple ride this week!

8:45AM Pickup at Silverthorne at base of switchbacks by the ball fields, then up to the Dillon Ampthiater parking lot, maybe still under reconstruction, thus en up to Montezuma, pending group interest, up Swan Mountain, back to Dillon, then back to Silverthorne.  35+ miles.  My max pace is B+, 15-17 mph, reduced by the climb.  We will ride as a group, your pace, and no drops.  Several regroups to keep together.  Keystone stop on the way up.  

Next week is July 4th, so maybe a Tuesday or Thursday ride.  ????

Please let me know if you will ride, so we can hook up.

June 25 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

 

June 25 is our next ride and annual meeting.  Meet at the Summit Senior Center, in the County Commons area at 9:30 ready to ride.  The official ride is to Copper Mountain or on to Vail Pass.   At noon our annual meeting will start inside the senior center so just time your ride so you are back by then.  There will be no picnic but feel free to bring something to eat and drink during the meeting.  Just help us keep the place clean.

 

A long time resident of Summit County, Jean Waid just had a tire get caught in the cracks coming down from Vail Pass.  Please use extreme caution riding this section as the cracks are wide spread and are sometimes on the side and sometimes in the middle.  Summit Biking has requested CDOT place a sign at the top of Vail Pass warning about the cracks.  Resurfacing is planned for September.

 

Optional rides still occur on Thursday afternoon and Sunday morning.  See the Summit Biking Calender for details.

 

 

 

 

 

June 18 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

 

Monday's ride (June 18) will be to either Montezuma or Loveland Pass, starting at 9:30 am from Town Park in Dillon.  Town Park is located on Buffalo Street in Dillon. To get there turn right at the stop light where route 6 and Lake Dillon Drive meet.  Town Park is located on the left next to Town Hall, across from Lake Dillon Theater.  Parking is available in a lot next to Town Hall as well as along Lake Dillon Drive.  There will be a grill to use after the ride (around noon) so bring something to fix for lunch as well as something to drink as well as something to share with your friends.  (Dillon tells me that the amphitheater parking lot project may or not be complete, which is why we are not using that area.)  Both of these rodes are along roads so use caution and ride single file.  For those who do not want to ride on the road take the bike path over the dam towards Frisco and then towards Breckenridge.

 

Other rides occurring this week (and throughout the summer) that you may want to participate in are offered by Team Managers and Podium Sports. Team Managers (across from the Holiday Inn in Frisco) has a 5 pm ride led by Brad the shop's bike tech and will go where the group wants. Another ride takes place Sunday at Podium Sports in Frisco (corner of Main Street and Route 9) at 10 am. Podium may do more than one ride if the numbers justify additional routes. Both of these shops offer discounts to Summit Biking members (see our web site for details), support the Bob Guthrie Ride and said they are happy to have our members along for the rides.

 

Today was also the kick off day for additional rides to be held by Summit Bikers on Wednesday and Fridays.  Regular postings for these rides will be made starting June 27.  Al Wambach is coordinating this effort for us (alwambach@gmail.com) or  610-613-1390.

Summit Biking More Rides 2012

A newer idea! In addition to the traditional Monday rides, some of us will post Wednesday and Friday rides for the summer.

I will start a "trial ride " on Wednesday this week, June 13th. Then begin the regular postings on June 27th.

This week we will start at the
base of the dam parking lot @ 9AM, then sweep by the Dillon ampitheator lot @ 9:15 and head up Zuma. Frequent regrouping will keep the group together. No drops.

It is a show and go ride. Confirm if you can.

Weather should be good!

June 11 -- Circle the Lake Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

 

Next weeks ride will be around Lake Dillon, starting at the Frisco Marina at 9:30 am.  For those that want a longer ride include a side trip to Officers Gulch or Copper.  There will be no grill available, however, Bonnie will be bringing napkins, plates and condiments for the picnic.  Please bring something to share, a sandwich and a drink to enjoy the picnic afterward (around 11:30 or so).  For those who have not heard I will not be joining you (except in spirit) do to a minor injury.
