Bike Ride May 24

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next weeks ride, May 24, will be the Green Mountain Reservoir. The start of the ride is at the intersection of Route 9 and Heeney Road, approximately 20 miles north of Silverthorne. Plan to be ready to ride at 9:30 am. Most of the parking is on route 9 at the intersection with Heeney Road. Be careful crossing route 9 as it is a busy road. Heeney Road is not very busy but it is a road with some traffic and people are encouraged to ride single file near the shoulder. This is the only Summit County ride with rolling hills as you ride on the west side of the reservoir.  Pay attention as there are some pot holes and a rough spot or two.

Afterwards, we will have a picnic at North Pond in Silverthorne. North Pond is across from the elementary school at the corner of Hamilton Creek Road and Route 9. Please bring something to share with your friends, whatever you want to drink and a sandwich (as we will not have a grill) . Be sure to wear name tags, especially at the picnic.  The picnic is open to all vaccinated riders.  We trust that riders will conform to this rule.  First picnic in two years!!

Our new jerseys will be available at the picnic to try on.  Instructions on how to order will be given.  In case you miss this ride the jerseys will be around for a few weeks so there will be more opportunities.
This is a fun ride to bring a guest along since it is an out and back and difficult to get lost on.  Our leader for this ride will be Don Hansen as I am out until mid June.  I am working on staying in shape and will start riding as soon as the doctors say.

Ride Safe!
