On February 14th, I joined a scouting party that was sent out to Iron Mountain to check on the trail conditions. New trail was marked, soft trail was packed down, debris was removed, and lots of singletrack was ridden. Here’s a look at what we found.

Well, we did it. We made it through January! In my opinion, January is the hardest month for cycling. Even though the weather was worse in December, the dark cold days of winter begin to wear down your spirit and motivation after the holidays. It took some discipline to keep riding [...]

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! [...]

It’s been a rough few weeks for mountain bikers here in Carson City. About the only dirt visible is the sand they’ve spread on the icy roads. Under a cover of dark thick clouds, we went out at lunch on Monday in search of something to ride. In my mind, we would [...]

This weekend we went on what Jeff Potter advertised as a “Mixed Terrain Ride”. The plan was to ride roads, doubletrack, and singletrack, and ride through the mountains to Silver City, Dayton, and along the Carson River. We had only a vague idea of what trail conditions we’d encounter, so we just prepared [...]
