Join us for a 3 day romp around Lake Tahoe! We will enjoy a GORGEOUS bike path for about 30% of this ride and we will have a dedicated bike lane for about for about 50% of the remainder. There are short portions on a narrow curvy rd. Make sure you would be comfortable with that.
Plan to be a the event location by noon.
We will leave from Truckee Monday around noon and head to Kings Beach for the first night. Along the way we will meander our way along the Truckee River until we veer slightly off our route to visit historic Ganlibakken Ski Area and then a stop at the Tahoe Maritime Museum and the Tahoe City Museum. We will check to see if we can see the huge trout from Fanny Bridge. We will have lunch/dinner
with a Wet Woody at Gar Woods Bar and Grill and then go check into our lodging. This day is about 20 miles and 1200 ft.
We have reservations at the Crown Motel $130 per room for Monday night. I have reserved 6 rooms.

The following day we head out for a busy day of biking and exploration. 10 miles along our route after enjoying the beauty of Sand Point and Bonsai Rock. If we have time we might walk up to Monkey Rock! We continue on and have a late lunch in South Lake Tahoe and continue on to our lodging for the night. This day is about 38 miles and 2300ft.
We are staying at Emerald Bay Lodge $150 per night with the same room designation.
Our last day is a delight. We start at Tallac Historic site. The Tallac Historic Site, nestled along the southwestern shores of Lake Tahoe, offers a vivid glimpse into the opulent lifestyles of the early 20th-century elite who once summered there. Comprising three grand estates—Pope, Baldwin, and Valhalla—the site is a treasure trove of history, architecture, and natural beauty. We will enjoy Eagle Falls, visit historic Vikingsholm at Emerald Bay, check out D. L Bliss state park. We then make our way back to Truckee to end our scenic and historic 3 day bike ride! We do about 40 1700ft miles this day.
