Monday May 22nd Ride - Green Mountain Reservoir

Hi Summit Biking

 

Next week's ride, Monday May 22^nd,, will be the Green Mountain Reservoir.  The ride is being coordinated by Polly Koch. 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 10:00 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.  It is an out-and-back ride, so turn around as you wish.  The entire route out and back is around 22 miles. Pay attention as there are some potholes and a rough spot or two.   When you reach the end of Heeney Road as it rejoins Route 9, please be aware of traffic turning onto Heeney Road, and stay to the side of the road.

 

As the weather may not be conducive to a picnic, let's leave it as an informal gathering at North Pond Park in Silverthorne after the ride.  Bring your own drink and sandwich and hang out with your fellow riders if the weather cooperates.
