Tales from the Log Skinny

Jeff Moser | June 11, 2010

On a cold and breezy June day that felt more like it belonged in March, we pedaled our way up Ash Canyon with no particular trail plan in mind. The leader would just make a decision at the next intersection as to which way we would go. Sometimes it’s better that way, so you’re not [...]

Earth Day

Jeff Moser | April 23, 2010

Although it is traditional to be Green on Earth Day, here in Carson City we broke custom and went White.  We woke up to the end of a snow storm on April 22nd that left up to a couple inches of snow in some locations.  This is not uncommon for northern Nevada, but it does [...]

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! We hadn’t [...]

West Side Road and Trail Report

Jeff Moser | December 17, 2009

Marcus the Tire Slayer

Jeff Moser | October 30, 2009

Thursday’s lunch ride started off perfect. It was cold and overcast, but the biting windchill from the day before was gone. The trails were in great shape, and we had four fast guys pedaling up the hill. We had a brief rest at the top of the Creek Trail, and then we flew down the [...]

Sharing the Road

Jeff Moser | July 28, 2009

Last week I did the bicycle commuter survey, and received many responses. I received one email from a guy in Minden, and his message appears to come from a motorist point of view. I doubt he read my post, but just wanted to use the opportunity to vent his feelings towards cyclists. This is fine [...]
