With all the new trail options in Ash Canyon, it can be easy to forget about the V&T trail, the old Virginia and Truckee Railroad bed. Half of this trail is now paved, the bike path behind the college, but the dirt begins at Combs Canyon road heading north.

I’ve received several emails from riders wondering where to find the trails we talk about so frequently in Ash Canyon. Here’s a handy little map that Jeff P Keith (aka Scumfish) created that should help get you started.

The best way to access the trails is either from the V&T bicycle path, or [...]

Silver Saddle Ranch
My family recently went hiking out at the Silver Saddle Ranch. If you’re not familiar with the Silver Saddle Ranch, this park/working ranch is out on the Carson River Road, which takes off near the end of the east side of 5th Street. As we were hiking the mostly flat, packed sand [...]

We had an incident on yesterday’s lunch ride, and it got me thinking that I should talk a little about group trail riding etiquette.
Tom was riding sweep, and had a crash in an off camber, sandy dip. It also pinch flatted his rear tube. Tom was OK other than being a little dirty [...]

This weekend we had an Expedition into El Dorado Canyon. “El Dorado” loosely translates from Spanish into “The Land of the Lost Golden Trails”. To find this lost land, one must start at the Dayton Rodeo Grounds on Schaad Lane just outside of Dayton. Entering Dayton from the West, turn right on [...]

For the first time in a long time (weeks, months?) we got some rain this weekend! The trails in Ash Canyon were starting to feel like you were riding on the beach. I didn’t get up on the trails immediately following the rain, and rode for the first time on Monday. Wow! [...]

Everyone please be aware of a new bridge on the Ash Creek Trail. The bridge was installed so as to minimize user impact through a fragile wetland.
Enjoy the ride!

I recently had the privilege of riding in the Joaquin Miller Park in the hills above Oakland, California. And not only because the riding in the park was so cool, but also because of the people I got to ride with. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had the distinct honor [...]

Here’s a shot of the new rock armoring on the 7 Steps Trail. What will archeologists 200 years from now make of this?
Skid on This!
Forgot to get a picture, but Bike Carson would like to welcome the new tenants on the Creek Trail! Half way down the Creek Trail, when the trail joins [...]
