The route will begin at lake level @6,200 ft. and proceed down Lake Shore Drive to the Base of Mt. Rose. We will climb to the summit just shy of 9,000 ft. This is a 25 mile ride and excellent for climbing and altitude training. This section of Mt. Rose offers an excellent shoulder on ascent and descent as well as beautiful views. Faster climbers can do hill repeats so we can meet at the top for a group photo.
