Bike Ride and Annual Meeting August 3

Next week we will have our annual meeting, at Dillon Amphitheater, thus our ride will be slightly shorter so we are all back by 11:30.  Plan to meet at the amphitheater parking lot at 9:30 ready to ride.  Your choice will be a ride around the lake, going clockwise, or a ride through Frisco to Officers Gulch.  Depending on your speed you may have to add some additional riding or turn around early.  We will not have a picnic but feel free to bring something to snack on during the meeting. 

Use extra caution when riding, as lots of tourist are in town.  Ride safe and have fun!

Anyone interested in riding Loveland Pass (east side Sunday morning)

I am riding from Bakerville to Loveland Ski area to Loveland Pass Sunday morning.  Meet at Exit 221 by 9:30 and we'll ride up the bike path to Loveland Ski area then up the East side of Loveland Pass (Rt6).  Maybe even venture down the West side for a couple of miles.  I'll probably leave Silverthorne around 9am

July 27 Bike Ride

 

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next weeks ride is to Montezuma or Loveland Pass.  Those riding to either A-Basin or Loveland Pass please use caution as all hazmat trucks use Loveland Pass as well as many visitors. 

Meet at the Dillon Amphitheater at 9:30 am ready to ride.  We will have a grill so bring something to cook and share with your friends.  As always bring your own drink.  Aim to be at the picnic around noon.

Remember to use hand signals and ride safe.

In case of emergency my cell number is 970 393-2190.

Fw: Lodging Help For USA Pro Rider

This rider needs a place to stay if someone has a spot available.  A chance to help an up and coming rider and perhaps get some good biking tips.

John Bowyer

 

Read the bottom first.    Johnathan needs a place to stay from July 24 - Aug 14. We can do a few days but are gone & can't do the whole time. Would you be willing to put something on Summit biking to see if we can find a place up here for him to stay. He is 23 years old & very nice & polite. No feed needs to be provided but he would appreciate a home cooked meal occasionally.

Sara,

Johnathan is looking for a (complimentary) place to stay in Summit County from July 25th until the rest of his team arrives for the USA Pro Challenge.

Right now he is staying in Evergreen with a professor and his family but there is more family coming there and he needs to find another place to stay where he can get high altitude training in as preparation for the race.

Please pass this around to all your cycling friends in Summit. Hopefully, someone will be able to help out an aspiring young pro racer on the Jelly Belly Cycling Team.

I have known Johnathan since he was five years old and can vouch for him.  Thanks for your help.

July 20 Bike Ride

 

Hello Summit Bikers,

 

Next weeks ride, July 20, takes us out of the county to Turquoise Lake near Leadville.  This is beautiful ride with great views of the lake and the mountains around it.  Please be ready to ride at 10 am.  We will meet at the Maid of Erin parking area.  To get there take route 91 at the Copper exit toward Leadville.  As you enter Leadville there will be a Safeway on your right at a stop light.  Take a right at the stop light (Mountain View Drive) and follow the signs toward the golf course.  As you near the golf course there are signs for Turquoise Lake.  Follow these until you reach road 9C, take a right here and the Maid of Erin Parking area is on the left.  (If you reach the dam you have driven past the turn.)  There is a small fee, reduced for those with Access Cards.  Fee envelopes are available as you enter the parking area.  Please bring a pen to complete the envelope.  If this area is full there is free parking near the dam (which is a short bike ride or walk back to the picnic area).  To reach the dam go out of the Maid of Erin parking area and take the first right, go past the road you drove in on and park on the right just before the dam.  To walk back to the picnic area after the ride follow the path along the lake, it takes about 5 minutes.

 

I normally ride counter clockwise, control my speed and look ahead for potential problems.  Since this is a circle those that want a shorter ride should plan to turn around.  Remember this is on a rode so stay to the right and watch out for pot holes.

 

We are giving Bonnie (meaning no grill) the day off , but have the picnic supplies available, so plan to bring something to eat for lunch as well as something to share with your friends and a drink. 

 

Those that would like to car pool are encouraged to meet at the west end of Frisco in the parking lot at 8:45.  If the chance of rain in the morning is over 50 percent an email will be sent out Sunday night. 

Since we have so many new people this year I thought I should give everyone some of the basic stuff.  If it is raining when the ride is to start there will be no ride.  I do look at the forecast and will send out an email the night before, especially if we are going out of the county.  Rides out of the county start at 10 am, all others are at 9:30.  All riders are required to use helmets.

 

Ride safe and have fun!

Friday Morning Ride Around The Lake (9:30 at the Dam)

Meet me at the East end of the dam at the benches 9:30 Friday Morning and we’ll go for a ride.  I plan to step it up a notch and head up to Montezuma.  I understand that the road is in bad condition around Peru Creek so we only may make it that far.  On the way back we may head around the lake or go straight back to the Dillon for some market food.

 

This weekend Team Evergreen’s Triple ByPass Ride will be coming through the county on Saturday & Sunday.  Safe travels to those who are doing the ride.

July 13 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next weeks ride is either to Copper or Vail Pass starting at the Frisco Marina at 9:30.  A picnic will follow at the Marina around noon.  We will not have a grill but bring something to eat and share with your friends, as well as a drink.  Folding chairs are also good, although the grass (the non smoking kind) is good.

Be sure to use hand signals, and keep others informed when passing.  Even the best riders can go down as happened today on the Tour de France, so always stay alert.

Ride safe and have fun!

Summit Biking - Monday Morning Ride (7/6 @ 9:30)

Since there is nothing else on the schedule, I have decided to lead a Green Mountain Reservoir ride Monday morning.  Many of us were out of town when this was on the schedule earlier this season.  John indicated there was a great turnout so we’re going to try it again.

 

The ride starts at 9:30 from the usual parking lot on the right hand side of the turnoff to Heeney.  It is only 11+ miles down to the dam and around the corner over to Rt9 9 so this will be a 22+ miles ride.  We’ll plan to meet back at the North Pond picnic area (just South of Elementary school) a little after noon for lunch.  Bring a sandwich and/or something to share.  We’re giving Bonnie the day off so I’m picking up the picnic supplies from her but don’t count on there being a grill fired up for your burgers.

 

Call me or email if you have questions.
