Hello Summit Bikers,
Next week, June 21 we are doing Tour De Soda. Plan to meet at North Pond (Silverthorne on right side of Route 9, near the elementary school) at 9:30 am, ready to ride.
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. Some changes are in this years ride so all should have. I realize this is not as easy as most of our rides to follow but does take you to some new places.
There are lots of new members this year and I ask each of you to make a special effort to make them fell welcome. Wear name tags so people get to know each other better. The fit kits will be available at this ride. Shirts are selling nicely so do not be left out when we all ride with them.
Anyone interested in taking a few rides please let me know at bikebreck@yahoo.com. I have directions an information about all our rides but after many years of doing this could use assistance.

I still need assistance to put out picnic supplies. Please contact me at bikebreck@yahoo.com if willing even for a few weeks. Two positions on the board will be open soon as well. Summit Biking has had an impact on our community and we need your help to continue.
Ride safe!
