August 24 Bike Ride

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. Please do not stop in groups and socialize, without masks and social distancing.

Thirty Five showed up for one of the toughest rides of the year, was a great number.

Next week, August 24, we will ride to either Montezuma, A-Basin.  We will meet at the Dillon Amphitheater between 9:15 and 9:30 am.  The ride will be followed with our annual meeting starting at noon. .

I suggest avoiding the rec path through Keystone as things are very 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 to Montezuma Road and to Montezuma.  Please do not gather on the road at the end of Montezuma Road.  Those planning to ride to Montezuma should include a ride out to Keystone Ranch.  To do this addition pass the fence and continue on Keystone Ranch Road to the end.  Return to the fence and ride back to the start.  The goal is to get back for the meeting no latter than noon. The meeting should be fairly short and you will learn things like the status of Freemont Pass Recpath. During the meeting please socially distance and wear masks.

Feel free to bring a sandwich to enjoy after the ride or during the meeting.

Like this past week if smoke is still an issue we may have to cancel the ride. Check email Monday morning.

Ride Safe!
