The day could not have been more perfect. With the beautiful Spring weather we've been having, it was the ultimate reward after a long week. It was clear skies and the temperature was in the mid 50's.
The entire trip was estimated to be 10 miles. We brought our dogs which added to the adventure. The first 5 miles were mostly uphill and a bit challenging. I learned to keep pedaling when I hit the quick sand, lean back on the bike when going downhill, roll on the rocks and never, ever slam on breaks when going downhill.
Getting to the top and looking out over the beautiful untouched land below and breathing the crystal crisp air was the ultimate Reward. It was breathtaking and just another reminder how much I love the Carson Valley of Nevada.
The trip down was fast and exhilarating. Sliding through rocks, sand and hitting turns and grooves was so much fun! I even managed to get through muddy waters without wiping out. The gorgeous sunset on the way downhill gave the trip extra points.
Aside from enjoying the ride, I met a wonderful person, Carolan and her dog, Maya. We had alot of laughs and even discovered we had mutual Tahoe friends...
At the end, we all had big smiles on our faces. Here is a photo of my dog, Lexie at the end of the ride. It was worth the mud and dirt!
We are looking forward to the next ride!
Have a Great Day and Remember to Keep Lake Tahoe Alive and Blue!!!
