With some exceptions, I'm not too impressed with the road riding here due to either bad roads, fast traffic, or both. That said, I love the loop into Virginia City, Carson City, and Washoe Valley - especially the climb up Geiger and the descent down the other side (using the truck route that bypasses Gold Hill). I find myself on the mountain bike or gravel bike a little more with so much good stuff nearby.
Anyone else training for the Death Ride this July?
Death Ride, that used to be on my radar. Not any longer. But I think you should and post lots of pictures of the ride and your bike computer showing temps.
There used to be a Pony Express ride from the Reno area east. They rerode many of the miles the Pony Express rode. I need to take a week off and do some of that gravel grinding.
