- Freedom FridayShops At Bartley Ranch, Reno, NV
This week we have a different route. Most of the individual pieces we have done before, but never close to the whole collection in one ride, it makes for an eclectic ride. Two pieces are recently learned tricks.
We begin by heading up and over Plumas to Meadow Wood Drive to exploit the recently learned passage through to Pioneer Drive. We follow Pioneer Drive to Skyline. We then drop down Skyline to sneak north to Sharon and eventually Marsh Ave. We continue to California Ave followed by Arlington Ave. We follow up the hill a bit turning on 5th Street, followed by Washington and then turning onto 7th Street for a long climb 3.4 mile up to Robb Drive. We then turn down Robb and descend down Mae Ann to 4th Street. Following 4th to Mayberry brings us to Canyon Drive. Turning from Canyon up Ross brings us to the Joyce Douglas Bike Path. After climbing for a mile on this path we turn up Mountaingate Drive to Plateau.
Switching things up we turn down Longknife and after hitting Caughlin Parkway we take a different path up the hill on Bitteroot and Sawbuck. Climbing up to the top we take a slightly different loop on Village Green and then cruise over South McCarran to descend on Manzanita. The Obligatory loop around Virginia Lake Follows and a loop through a neighborhood brings us back to Lakeside which we then follow back to the start.

Start & End: Parking lot of the Bowers Mansion Regional Park in Washoe County
Ride Leader: Gail Betz
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44557181
26.2 miles and 1382 elevation (w/option to add 1.3 miles + 300 ft elevation)
Paper route maps will be available at the start of the rideJoin us for this fun ride from Bowers Mansion south through stunning Franktown Rd, then to the challenge of ascending Lakeview Drive, then the fun of riding down Coombs Canyon into the Carson City area (remember what you ride down you must ride up on the way back, so enjoy it!). We will cruise through the V&T Bike/Rail Trail onto Lakeview Drive where we enjoy viewing the lovely residential homes on some loops off Lakeview Drive, then meander through Carson City to around mile 13 where we stop at the LA Bakery for coffee and whatever scrumptious treat from their incredible selection suits your fancy. On our return, we retrace part of our path through Carson City and then explore a different charming residential neighborhood, before we take the V&T Bike/Rail Trail towards Coombs Canyon where we get to experience the joy (and pain) of climbing up the hill we so loved coming down. (PS. You get a feather in your cap for getting up this hill in this club - everyone knows and respects the challenge it presents). Then we head back retracing our route until you have the option to take US 395 ALT or add another 1.3 miles (and 300 ft elevation) by taking Franktown Rd back before returning to US 395 ALT and Bowers Mansion Park parking lot.
E-BIKE NOTE: The ride leader is unable to handle e-bike mechanical issues (battery failure, flat tires, etc.). Please have a backup plan for these events. Class 2 E-bikes are not permitted as they are not covered by club insurance.RIDE SWEEP: Most of these rides will NOT have an official "sweeper." The ride leader will aim to regroup at certain points. We do not want to lose anyone; however, please note the ride levels (C) and your responsibility to judge your own ability to do the ride.
NOTE: Check the Meetup posting 2 hours before ride time for weather-related and other changes. Helmets are required and bikes should be in good working order. For the safety of all riders, please do not use earbuds, headphones, or music players as they can interfere with the ability of riders to hear safety warnings (e.g. "Car back"). It is recommended you wear bright colors so drivers can see you. Our ride leaders may offer help with bicycle mechanical issues but are not bike mechanics. Be sure your bike has been checked by a proper mechanic to be sure it fits you correctly and is operating properly. Bring tire-changing tools, a spare tube & pump (or CO2 cartridge set-up), and you should know how to change a tire & care for your bike.
