Hello Summit Riders,
Next week's ride, 8/22 will be to either Montezuma, A-Basin, or Loveland Pass. Your choice!! We will meet at the Dillon Amphitheater Parking lot ready to ride at 9:30 AM.
I suggest avoiding the rec path through Keystone as more tourists may make it 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 (groups often gather back up in River Run since this is convenient for bathroom and water) to Montezuma Road and then to Montezuma. Anyone not familiar with this route should let me know so we can match you up with another rider. Please do not gather in the middle road at the top of Montezuma Rd. When you turn around in Montezuma to return stay off to the right side of the road. For those who want do a little more ride proceed out to Keystone Ranch on return.
I will have picnic supplies so please bring a sandwich and your drink. Covid has seemed to stifle our after-bike-ride picnics and sharing of some of our favorite dishes. I always thought that was a fun part of the ride! Even though covid is still with us, I think most of us feel pretty comfortable being around each other in the outdoors. Please join us for lunch and bring something to share. This Monday is our annual meeting so I'm hopeful that everyone can attend and enjoy the meeting and lunch together.
Please wear name tags from any organization to the picnic if you have them. Also, we ask all riders to be back to the start by NOON so we can picnic and then have our annual meeting.
Thanks and ride safe,
Pat Crum
