I've finally found a place where I'll be doing a lot of riding - it's a MUP that follows the Truckee River for miles and miles and miles. And, I may have found a bike that really feels "just right" on me - took a brief test ride today.
Here's the bike trail, and here's a stock photo of the bike - a 2016 Sirrus Elite.
Oops... the bike trail pics didn't upload.
