RR: Tahoe Day 1

[Von-Skipp]

Well Here is the full Ride Report of Tahoe.

Our first day we started at Big Meadows. I believe the turn off from the 89 highway is Upper Truckee Road and takes you downhill about 2 miles to Big Meadows. We climbed out of the canyon and rode up the 89 the Tahoe Rim Trail. We rode TRT passed Round Lake to the Pacific Crest Trail. PCT is a no bike trail so this was a turn-a-round point. We rode back on the TRT to Christmas Valley Trail. X-mas Valley was sweet descent all the way to the trucks. Very fun ride and I believe this was 15 miles.

I got the pictures off of Dano's camera. This ride was a good warm up for the days to come.

Here we are taking off from the truck for a little climbing.



We hit our first section of Tahoe singletrack, the TRT.
