Ride Description and Notes: This is a new ride to the calendar and the pace will be 12 miles/hour with a little climbing.

The intention is to keep the pace at 12 mi/hr so if this ride appeals to you and you decide to join in, we ask that you maintain this pace throughout the ride.
Ride day, location, and route could change from week to week so always check the calendar for details.

Tuesday rides are variable, depending on who leads and who shows up. Generally, the climbing is kept under 2000 feet (usually even less), and the distance is 18-25 miles. Often times, there are no regroups due to the short distances offered. This ride's start location currently starts at the Newcastle Park & Ride.
Coffee and conversation afterwards at Newcastle Produce
Wednesday rides are the most aggressive rides of the week (26-40 miles) and are fairly hilly. Currently, this ride usually starts out of Meadow Vista Park in Meadow Vista. However, always check the calendar for a different start location.
Thursday rides are hilly, shorter, more casually paced rides (usually around 20 miles with approximately 1800 feet of climb). Ride is swept and everyone more or less stays fairly close together. There are also numerous regroups on this ride. Currently, this ride is out of Meadow Vista Park in Meadow Vista. The last Thursday of the month starts out at Railhead Park in Auburn.
The rides usually start at Meadow Vista Park. However, check the calendar for occasional changes to the start location.
Thursday - Lake Tahoe Loop from Tahoe City Thu, May 23, 9:30am 0 comments
Loop around beautiful blue Lake Tahoe starting from the transit center in Tahoe City (water and restrooms available). Bring a buddy and ride your own pace. No sweep but we will have periodic regroups +/- every 15 miles. Drop dead gorgeous scenery so bring that camera. We usually stop at Safeway in South lake Tahoe for lunch and refreshment however if that's not your thing then there many other food options in SLT.
Please print your own route sheets or update your navigation computer. Navigation is really simple- keep the lake on your right.
Current weather forecast indicates temperatures at the start in low 50's so bring some layers and be prepared for changeable conditions- late afternoon thundershowers are common although none are in the current forecast.

Sunday rides are at least 40 miles in length, giving moderate level riders the chance to ride a little further than our average distance. You'll find some rides that are flattish and some that are killer hilly. The average pace of the Sunday rides varies hugely based on the distance and the amount of climb. The start location of this ride varies weekly, so check the calendar.
