Annual Polar Bear Hike / Bike

Whoopee - we're planning to do a 23nd Annual New Year's Eve Polar Bear (mountain) Bike & Hike exercise/eating fest a tradition started by Bob Guthrie a long time ago. Pretty much the same as always - Les Clarke will act as the canary pre riding the route & leading the Mountain Bikers to Bob's memorial rock with the Hikers doing an out and back on the bike path towards Summit Cove and back.  Nancy Kaufman has agreed to keep the hikers under control and make sure no one gets lost.

This year's event will be on Friday, December 31, 2019. Meet at the Dillon Town Hall parking lot on Lake Dillon Drive at 10:00 a.m. Usually, the recpath is plowed from Dillon to Swan Mountain Road, but mountain bikes are a must, helmets are required (suggest ski helmet) and obviously, dress for winter.

After we've had enough exercise, we'll reconvene at Pug Ryans around 11:30am for food and adult beverages (separate checks, of course). No fee, no advance sign-up - we'll just get a rough head count (needed for lunch reservation) before we start biking & hiking, so just show up and have fun. Then home for a nap before New Year's Eve :-)

Although this event is associated with Summit Biking it is not an official one of our rides.  Just a good way to get together with friends as the year ends and get some exercise.  Participants assume any risk.

All participants must have vaccines and boosters are strongly urged.  We do not want to have an event and spread stuff.

Be there - tell your friends who may not be on this list.

Thanks!
