Subject: [Summit Biking] Monday August 31 Ride - 10:00 a.m. Georgetown Visitors Center

 

Who is ready for a little riding out of the County?  Me, me me!

The drive from Silverthorne to the Georgetown Visitor Center is about 30mins.  Do probably look at google maps in case there is a delay that day.  Be ready to ride by 10am (temp might be a blazing 55dF, high of 64 that day with thunderstorms forecasted for the afternoon.  We will keep an eye on that.).

 There are plenty of picnic tables at the visitor center if you bring your own lunch.  I am NOT organizing a group lunch but instead encouraging folks to bring a lunch and enjoy that with whoever finishes close to your time as well.  I figure with all the choices we are going to be spread out with our finishing times.  

 We should NOT park in visitor center paved parking area.  Instead park in the dirt/gravel areas just West of their parking lot.  

 There are restrooms facilities inside the visitor center.

The Guanella Pass option is 11.6 miles with 3200 ft of elevation gain.  Google Maps says you should be up there in 2hr 15 min 😊

The Georgetown Loop Railroad, Silver Plume, Bakerville, Loveland Ski option is 1hr 46 min with 2231 ft of elevation gain.  Google Maps says this should take 1hr 46min.  You certainly will encounter fewer cars on this route, but perhaps more bears and maybe some raspberries if we get lucky!  The bike path will end in the parking lot at Loveland Valley Ski area.  There is no reason to go any further unless  you are doing bonus miles (+5) up Loveland Pass.

I always enjoy this ride.  FYI we have company here that day and Lance plans to take them to the top of Loveland Pass and then just keep going over and back to Summit County.  Anyone is welcome to join them!

Hope to see many of you there!

Hugs,

Lisa Kidd (new ride leader since they were getting desperate-don't criticize my skills please! :)
