Up Next...

I'm riding around Lake Tahoe! I've been selected to mentor the spring season as they train for America's Most Beautiful Ride.

The season kicks off on Jan 31 and on June 7 we'll circumnavigate the highways clockwise around Lake Tahoe in both Nevada and California. It includes a challenging 800 foot climb to a rest stop overlooking Emerald Bay and a 1,000 foot climb to Spooner Junction. There are also many short rolling ascents and descents totaling over 2,600 vertical feet of elevation gain! The altitude ranges between 6,300 feet and 7,100 feet above sea level and the ride is recommended for conditioned recreational bicyclist, not for beginners. Team in Training participants get an added out and back on Highway 89/ Bike Trail to visit historic Truckee, California, before continuing around Lake Tahoe.
