As you have seen from previous posts, the Sierra Nevada’s are still covered in snow, preventing any trail riding on these mountains whatsoever. Fortunately for us Nevadans, there are over 300 other mountain ranges to pick from. Sunday’s adventure began 20 miles east of Carson City in the mostly snowless Flowery Range, on [...]

I’m a bit at a loss here for my first post. First off, I’ve never posted on a blog with the exception of the occasional comment. Second, I haven’t been in the saddle nearly enough lately to really have much to say in the way of riding other than, I wish I was [...]

I drove out to Stagecoach today to check on the Iron Mountain Trail. I built this trail about seven years ago when we lived at Iron Mountain and I haven’t been back since we moved into Carson two years ago. Not many people know about the trail, so I thought it would be overgrown [...]

A friend recently asked me if I would take a look at her father’s bike, which was now in her possession, and make it rideable.
Like most bike geeks out there I am occasionally approached by my non-bike-geek friends and asked if I can take a look at their bike. I’m always happy to [...]

You may have noticed the lack of lunch riding photos lately. That’s because there hasn’t been much lunch riding! With all the trails under the snow, and all the roads icy, we’ve been finding other ways to entertain ourselves at lunch. A few of the lunch time riders got together last week, [...]

Today I had the opportunity to ride my snow bike, a 1987 Raleigh Seneca. I call it the snow bike because I mounted studded tires on the wheels and I only ride it when there is enough of the fluffy stuff to warrant using it. I was given this bike from a customer of mine [...]

Sunday, Amy and I decided to take a twenty mile spin around Carson on our road tandem. With the unseasonably warm temps pushing mid 50’s, hopping on the road bike sounded better than slogging through mud on our mountain bikes.
With no specific ride plan in mind, we pedaled north towards our usual route, but [...]

Carson City Parks and Recreation called me this afternoon to let me know that the USFS canceled our trail meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Needless to say I’m very disappointed. I’ve been preparing and looking forward to this meeting for two months. Parks and Rec said they would start planning our next meeting. I’ll let [...]

I thought I would let everyone take a gander at the Moser’s temporary digs while they wait for the carpet to be installed in their new home.
