August 3 Bike Ride and Meeting

Hello Summit Bikers,

Our wonderful leader is out so I have been asked to pitch in.  For some reason she thinks I know the rides.  This week's ride is in connection with our annual meeting so please try to attend.

Start Time: 9:30 a.m.

Meeting Point: Dillon Amphitheatre parking lot

Annual Meeting & Lunch: Dillon Amphitheatre Pavilion after the ride - Bring a sandwich and something to share. If you'd like to enjoy something sweet during the business meeting, there will likely be some impressive desserts to enjoy.

Route:  We' are doing a repeat of the Montezuma/Loveland Pass route that we did in late June. I suggest doing the Montezuma ride so you are back in time for the annual meeting, but you are free to choose.  We will regroup in River Run at the bathrooms and where the road turns to dirt at Montezuma. We will ride to Keystone and take the path through the fence.  Anyone not familiar should pair up with a regular.  Please get off to the side of the road in Montezuma.

***Even if you don't ride on Monday, please feel free to come to the lunch and annual meeting.***

Ride Safe,

John Bowyer

July 27th Ride - Silverthorne Rambler - 9:30 a.m.

Hi Team,

The term "rambler" is an accurate one for this ride, as it comprises twists and turns that will require the guidance of Charlie Shofnos as our mighty lead and cue sheets to refer to if you are riding faster or slower than the main group of cyclists.

• Start time: 9:30 a.m.
• Meeting Place: Dillon Amphitheatre parking lot
• Route: From the Amphitheatre, we will (r)amble down the recpath corkscrew to the hills of Silverthorne. There are many turns but most of them are easy to follow once you are 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. Once we reach the Hamilton Creek area, please note this important reminder: Please do not ride to Lakeview Circle (at the top of Hamilton Creek).  This is a private road and we have been requested not to ride on it.
• Lunch: Please bring something to eat and share with your fellow bikers under the shelter of the Amphitheatre pavilion.
• 
  
• CUE SHEET:  (please print out a copy)
• Dillon Amphitheater - Start --> go towards the dam
• Stay on Silverthorne path to North Pond
• Rt End of Path (Allegra Dr)
• Rt a stop sign (Hamilton Cr Rd)
• Continue on Hamilton Creek Road
• *DO NOT RIDE UP LAKEVIEW CIRCLE* 
• Rt on Bald Eagle
• Cross Rt 9 to Golden Eagle (Careful)
• Lt on Falcon Dr
• Lt on Golden Eagle
• Lt on Two Cabins
• Rt on Arnica Ln
• Lt on Currant Way (easy to miss)
• Lt on Hunters Knob Rd
• St on Maryland Creek Trail (to Summit Sky)
• At T, Lt on Maryland Creek Rd
• Lt on Maryland Creek Lane
• Rt on Rt 9
• Lt at N. Pond
• Rt on Allegra Dr
• Lt on Recpath --> Return to Start

Looking forward to seeing you on Monday!

Subject: July 20 Ute Pass Ride

 

> The ride Monday July 20 is to Ute Pass.  There will be two starting
> points:  North Pond in Silverthorne starting at 9AM (faster group
> perhaps with pace line) or from the bottom of Ute Pass Road at 9:30AM
> (shorter ride with climbing, starts where Ute Pass intersects Route
> 9). Show up at the school about 8:30 and we’ll generally depart with a
> faster group first. A second group will leave shortly after for safety
> to minimize a whole group of faster riders passing a slower group.
>
> After the ride we have a picnic hosted by Bob and Jay Gilson in
> Hamilton Creek, Silverthorne. They will have a propane grill available
> for those who want to cook.  Please bring something to eat AND
> SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS as well as your drink.  Bob is
> making the ice cream so we all need to do our part and bring a side
> dish.    (For some reason this tends to draw the biggest crowd of the
> season -😊)
>
> Since this is an out and back there will be no sag.  My cell is 970

> Below are the details from Bob:
>
> I plan to make some ice cream for the Ute Pass post-ride picnic at our
> house next Monday, 7/20/26.  The picnic will be on our deck and in the
> house so please leave your bike shoes off at the porch since we don't
> really have a lawn and the view is prettier from the deck anyway.  We
> have about 6-8 deck chairs and about the same inside. Bring a folding
> chair for the deck if you want a seat. The deck rail is 2x8 flat so it
> makes a good rest for a glass or dish.
>
> From the Silverthorne Elementary School which is on Hamilton Creek
> Road, drive/ride 1.3 miles up Hamilton Creek Rd, then turn right onto
> Crescent Moon Trail.  We are the 4th house on the left and the address
> is:  0137 Crescent Moon Trail.
>
> We give extra points for those who ride up to the house but if you are
> driving we have room for some 8-10 cars to park just beyond our
> driveway in a cul-de-sac.  Plus, you can park along one side of the
> road to allow others from the few houses beyond us to get past.  About
> 6 can park in our driveway but you will have to back down to get out.
> If you are concerned just carpool up from the elementary school OR
> this is where the extra points for riding up the hill come into play

[Summit Biking] July 13 Pedal The Peninsula - updated link & more info

Hey Everyone,

New gpx link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56089172 - cue sheets will be provided.    

Start time: 9:20 gather to discuss route; 9:30 am wheels to the ground.

Remember to bring: a camp chair, lunch, drink, and something to share. We'll carve out an area adjacent to the kayak lot to have lunch. Weather looks good with partly cloudy conditions and 70s by the end of the ride. 

Meeting points along the route: While the bike path from Kayak to Valley View Road is relatively straight forward, the route becomes very twisty-turny once we ascend to the Highlands. We will designate a couple of meeting points to ensure that no one gets lost along the way.

Safety: wear bright clothing and use a  rear flashing light on your bike for best visibility on the road. The Highlands area is sparsely trafficked, but it is still necessary to be watchful and ride single file in the presence of traffic.

Feel free reach out if you have any questions or concerns,

Betsy
