First Dirt Ride of the Year

Jeff Moser | January 18, 2010

It has been a long winter here in Carson City. Cold, sunless days without end, and snow and ice that just won’t melt. By the end of last week though, the snow had receded on the slopes with a southern exposure, and the dirt had dried enough to permit a little mountain biking! [...]

Holiday Hike-a-Bike
