July 8 Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

 

For those that did not make last weeks technical talk you missed a fine breakfast and excellent technical talk.  Stewart did ask me to remind those people voting in the Summit Daily poll to keep Team Manager in mind this year for best bike shop.  Team Managers will also be doing afternoon rides starting this Wednesday July 3 at 5 pm and all Summit Biking is invited.  It is a good opportunity to ride with a bike tech that and talk about things that you want to know but were afraid to bring up in front of a group.

 

We will once again venture outside Summit County to East Vail and attempt once again to either do the Vail Pass or Vail Trail. See what our side of Vail Pass is going to look like once all the work by CDOT is completed. The ride will be from Big horn Park in East Vail, starting at 9:30am.  There will be a grill available so plan to bring something to cook, a drink and a dish to share with your friends. For those who would like to car pool meet at the west end of Frisco at the parking lot at 8:45 am.  Multiple rides are available from Big Horn, including West Vail Pass and the Vail Trail trough Vail and on to Minturn.

Directions to Big Horn Park: Go West to exit 180 in East Vail. Get off on the right and turn left going under I-70 on Bighorn Road. Go right on Streamside Circle. Stay on Streamside Circle and turn right on Meadow Drive. Bighorn Park is on the left ahead.

Remember the tourist are in town, slow down and do not cut corners.  Use those hand signals, especially in group rides and ride safe.
