July 29 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

Wonderful turn out for the Ice Cream Ride this week.

Next Monday, July 29 we will venture outside Summit County to East Vail.  The ride will be from Big Horn Park, starting at 10 am.  For those who would like to carpool meet at the west end of Frisco at the parking lot at 9 am.  Carpools are recommended as parking is tight.  Multiple rides are available from Big Horn, including West Vail Pass and the Gore Trail through Vail and onto Minturn or Edwards.  For many of us this will be our first chance to experience the revised bike path up West Vail Pass.  Big Horn Park is a nice setting for a picnic to socialize so please bring something to share as well as a sandwich and drink.

Directions to Big Horn Park: Go West to exit 180 in East Vail. Get off on the right and turn left going under I-70 on Bighorn Road. Go right on Streamside Circle. Stay on Streamside Circle and turn right on Meadow Drive. Bighorn Park is on the left ahead.

Remember the tourist are in town (West Vail also gets many downhill riders), slow down and do not cut corners.  Use hand signals and let others verbally know where you are.

Ride safe and have fun!
