Hello Summit Bikers,
The following rules will be in effect to future notice.
-- Everyone must have a buff or face mask. Anyone not having a buff or face mask will not be permitted to ride with the group. These need to be worn at the start and until there is a separation of at least 6 feet.
-- We will verify that we have a waiver signed from all participants and if not require one to be completed prior to riding. Most members did this when they paid their dues. We will have waivers available for those who did not or prospective riders who have not joined.
-- Riders need be at least 6 feet apart, maintaining social distancing.
-- Groups should be 10 or fewer
Next week, July 13 we are doing Tour De Soda. Plan to meet at Dillon Amphitheater between 9:30 and 10 am. Groups should start with ten or less when ready.
The route takes us to the River Run Area of Keystone, out to the Old Ranch House, through Soda Creek and back to our cars. Please print out the directions below and have them with you. There are a number of turns but once you ride through it is not that complicated.
Riders may bring a sandwich to enjoy afterwards but there will not be picnic and sharing of food. Remember to socially distance.
