Cycling Carson City is in need of a logo. Something that would be easy to put on a sticker or a flyer. It could say “Cycling Carson City” or even “Bike Carson”, and would need to include the website URL. The trouble is, is that I can barely write my name in […]

My son and I were recently having a discussion about how he didn’t like going to school. I told him I didn’t really like going to work either, but that I made it a lot better by giving my self something to look forward to throughout the day. And for me of course, […]

It’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve recently suffered from a touch of blogging ennui, coupled with a bout of stomach ailment that has made my insides feel like a lava lamp with berserk polarity. My brain has been a an old, rusty, bicycleless wheel rolling through the desert.

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 […]
This weekend’s ride is a go. The weather looks to be cooperating and most of the snow should be melted off the trail by then.
Ride description: The first two miles of the ride will be on a double track that will provide a good warm-up and an opportunity to socialize before hitting the singletrack. […]

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 […]
Trail Conditions
This is a picture from the top of the Kings Canyon road climb. As you can see, the southern exposures have melted, but anything that does not get direct sun still has quite a bit of snow on it. There is hope for a taste of singletrack in the near future if […]
Amy and I traveled to Portland, OR. this past weekend to visit with Bill, Amy’s father. Fortunately the timing of this trip was perfect, for it coincided with the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. The show was too overwhelming to absorb in one day, but that’s all we had. After returning home and reading better […]
