Hello Summit Bikers,
Sorry for the late change, but after traveling over to Vail today I realize there may still be some delays in travel so have decided to Monday's ride.
Meet at the Dillon Amphitheater Parking Lot ready to ride at 9:30 and challenge the hills of Silverthorne. There may seem to be too many turns but most of them are easy to follow once you riding the route. The recpath does go by the outlets (watch for walkers) and the route does cross Route 9 twice so caution is advised. Please print this out and have for the ride. If lost ride downhill as the recpath is along the Blue River.

I also checked out the West Vail Pass route and work continues but is nearing completion. Hopefully we can do a ride out of Big Horn Park in Vail before winter to experience the new path. What is complete is away from I 70 and is beautiful.
There will be no ride September 4, as it is Labor Day weekend and the paths are normally crowded.
Have Fun and Ride safe!
