Greetings IC3 mountain bike riders,road riders, EZ riders
IC3 is sponsoring several rides in the Fraser/Winter Park area for all riders on Aug 13, 9AM
1. Road Ride will be organized by Matt Otero. Ride details http://christiancyclingco.com/category/road-ride
2. There is the usual intermediate and expert mountain bike rides. See details below.
3. There is the EZ Riders option. We will be riding a very easy and paved trail from Fraser to the Winter Park ski area.
And for anyone interested in lunch we can meet at my condo in Meadowridge, Court 15 Unit 3. We will be grilling
burgers, brats, salmon and having side dishes and drinks. There is no charge for lunch, IC3 is covering the costs.
Please RSVP to me if you are planning to come to lunch.
Directions to Meadowridge Court 15 Unit 3. At the light in Fraser take County Road 804/Meadowridge Road up the hill going behind the Safeway
store. At the top of the hill there is an intersection. Go straight thru the intersection. Go about a tenth of a mile and take the first right. This is a
parking lot for the Meadowridge clubhouse. Continue thru the parking lot to a street at the other side of the parking lot. Cross the street and
you will see Court 15 straight ahead. The entry to the condo is in the back – Unit 3.
I recommend leaving Denver by 7:30 AM to arrive at the ALCO parking lot in Fraser by 9AM. See the car pooling options below.
(Beginner-Intermediate-Expert – Recreational Mountain Bike Details)
Description: We have rides for every ability. The Fraser Valley boasts of 550 miles of a wide variety of mountain bike trails. Tippery Creek Trail is a non-technical trail that also serves as a key race in the Winter Park Mountain Series and a popular ride at the WP Mountain Bike Festival. The ride starts with a long climb and the descents are smooth and fast. Beginner/Intermediates can also ride one of the local’s favorites; Creekside, Flume & Chainsaw Trail. These trails are not technical & mostly flat.
From Denver, head west on I-70. Turn off I-70 onto US Highway 40 at Exit #232 (Empire Exit)
Turn right on US 40 and stay on US Highway 40 through Empire, over Berthoud Pass, through the town of Winter Park and continue on to the town of Fraser.
Meet in the ALCO parking lot in front of Totally Wired Bike/Coffee shop between 8:30 and 8:45 AM.
Suggestions for carpooling: Morrison Exit off of I-70. Wooly Mamouth Parking across from the Conoco service station so go north to the light and turn left. Go till you see the station and parking will be on the left. This parking lot is in the NW quadrant of the I-70/Morrison Exit intersection
Details: You will need a mountain bike, a helmet (required), riding gloves, and water. Ride leaders are provided for various riding abilities,novice,intermediate, and expert. If you have any questions, email me at phillipbrothers6494@msn.com

Greetings
This Saturday July 30th we will have a ride at Evergreen. The trail is Alderfer / 3 Sisters. We will meet at the upper parking lot at 8:45 am and be riding by 9 am. The trail has lots of climbing and not as much technical riding. This is one of the favorites. Since the ride is close to Denver I am not setting up carpooling for this ride.
The directions to get there from the State Park web site.
Getting There
To access the park, travel south of Evergreen, Colorado on Highway 73. Turn west on Buffalo Park Road, approximately 1 mile to the east parking lot. The physical address for this east trailhead is 30299 Buffalo Park Road. A second parking lot is located another 1/2 mile along Buffalo Park Road and the physical address for this larger lot is 31677 Buffalo Park Road. Motorized vehicles are confined to the parking areas and roadways.
Hope to see you there.
God Bless

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Here is some more info.
The fee for parking is $5 and in a National Park so the State Park pass won’t work there.
C.25.b. Passing On Natural Surface Trails: At no less than fifteen (15) feet of approaching other trail users from any direction, slow to a speed comparable to the trail user being passed, communicate and gain their attention. Pass safely, single file and when oncoming traffic is clear. Stop when necessary to allow safe passage. Fine: $50.00
And a little more on the picnic. Just a quick note. The picnic is more a potluck in that people should bring a dish to share, their own utinsels and maybe a camp chair.
Blessings All

Hello All
I just got a call back from the Rangers about parking. If you don’t park in the designated parking area you will possibly get a ticket. If you park on the side of the road in the park you will possibly get a ticket. Here’s the breaks. Andrew Gordon is going to park at the North parking lot and ride to the West parking to meet us. If some of the advanced riders want to do this also it might help. Also advanced riders can park in the lot at the bottom on Hwy 6 for a good crank up. Lot’s of parking there. For the rest carpool if you can and park in the West lot. I will meet at the carpool parking. The Ranger I spoke with told me if we park on the side of the road at/before the park entrance we won’t get a ticket. It is a 4 way at the park entrance so there are 3 roads to park on the side of. You will have a short climb up to the West parking area.
Also the earlier you get there the better chance for getting a parking spot. Any questions let me know.
God Bless and See you tomorrow
Greg
