Another Friday morning ride around the lake

Meet at 11am on the Dam at the usual place (benches where bike path comes up from Dillon = Pritchit’s Corner).  We’ll ride around the lake and refuel at Jersey Boys (Pizza & Subs) in Dillon after the ride.  It should be another sunny day with temperature around 55 at 11am.  I call that shorts weather.

 

Hope to see you there.

Road Bike Ride October 5

Hello Summit Bikers,

Next week we will meet at Whole Foods (back East corner of lot) at 10 a.m.  From Here we will ride towards Breckenridge.  At Tiger Run RV park cross route 9 (be careful) and take Revette Drive.  This road goes past a number of condos and newer homes and ends on Tiger Road.  When you get to Tiger Road go Right and turn on Clubhouse Road (which goes to the Breckenridge Golf Center Clubhouse).  Go Right on Highlands Drive and follow Highlands Drive through the Highlands.  Eventually you will arrive at Highlands Drive and Route Nine (across from Valley Brook Drive).  At this point cross Highway Nine and get on the recpath to return to Frisco.  When we return to Frisco I suggest we have lunch at Whole Foods as a way of saying good bye to the long riding season.  I suspect this will be our last ride, although if the weather holds out who knows. 

Ride Safe!

September 28 Bike Ride

Hello Summit Bikers,

Reports of my disappearance were premature.  Next week we will meet at the Dillon amphitheater parking at 9:30 ready to ride to Montezuma.  This is a change from the posted ride so we can enjoy the fall colors.  We will not have a grill but plan to bring your own lunch and socialize afterwards.

Ride Safe,

John Bowyer

Monday Ride 9/14 - Frisco (10am) to Vail Pass w/Lunch

This Monday’s ride will be from Frisco up the bike path to Copper and Vail Pass.  Meet at the 2nd Frisco exit parking lot and be ready to ride at 10am.  This is a later than normal start time because of the chilly mornings and lack of sun on bike path near Officers Gulch.

We’ll cruise up the bike path to Copper and them up to Vail Pass and over to Black Lakes.  I figured we should get another one of these rides in before it started snowing.

 

Lunch is going to be out in front of Whole Foods in Frisco. I plan be to there around 12:30.  No potluck, just bring lunch or buy something scrumptious at Whole Foods.

 

Hope to see you there.  Call or email if you have any questions or concerns.

Fwd: [summitbiking] Monday Bike Ride - August 31


Our Monday 8/31 scheduled ride will start at the parking lot on the west end of Main Street in Frisco. The parking lot is across the street from the Kayak store. Be ready to ride at 9:30 AM. The primary ride option will be to go around the Lake in a clockwise direction with the option on the return leg of passing the parking lot and continuing up Ten Mile  Canyon to Officer's Gulch or beyond. We will have lunch at my house, 102 A Riverside Place, just behind the  post office in Frisco - I will supply more detailed directions as to how to get to my house and where to park on the morning of the ride. There will be a grill. Bring something to eat and something to share. Our goal will be to back at my house by 12noon.

Monday (8/24) Ride - Georgetown (10am) to Loveland Ski Area (NO POTLUCK)

Monday’s ride leaves Georgetown at 10am and heads UP the bike path to Silver Plume, then UP the service road to Bakerville, then UP the bike path to Loveland Ski area.  With all that UP this means the ride back to Georgetown must be a screaming easy DOWNHILL.  This weekend I will drive the road up to Guanella Pass to see if is rideable.

  If you don’t want all that uphill then you can always head down to Idaho Springs and ride back.

 

Park along the road just past the visitors center in Georgetown (right off the freeway exit).  There are restrooms at the visitor center but they don’t want us parking in their lot.  I’m giving Bonnie the day off so there won’t be a grill.  I hear that there are picnic tables at the visitors center so bring a lunch if you have time to chat with your fellow bikers.  Another option is to enjoy one of the many restaurants in Georgetown if you feel like dropping some spendolas in this tourist town.

 

Winter is just around the corner, hope to see many of you there.

 

Call or email me if you have questions.
