Nevada City, California, is a fiery gold rush town in California’s Sierra foothills, luring you with its impeccably preserved Victorian streets, where historic buildings house quirky shops, buzzing bars, and top-notch restaurants that hum with character. Its eclectic vibe pulses through colorful art galleries, lively music venues, and a spirited scene that makes every night feel like a festival.
South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, is a thrilling high-country town perched on the sapphire edge of Lake Tahoe, luring motorcycle tourists for years with its legendary Sierra Nevada mountain roads that twist and climb through pine-scented passes, delivering sweeping vistas and that crisp, invigorating clean air every rider craves. Its vibrant night life pulses along the lakeshore with lively casinos, craft breweries, and welcoming diners. Meanwhile, the surrounding Sierra peaks beckon with epic routes like the 89 loop or Echo Summit, where every curve rewards you with fresh asphalt, towering granite walls, and the pure freedom of riding at elevation under endless blue skies.
We will leave the shop on Wednesday morning and return on Sunday for a five-day, four-night ride.
