South Reno Ride
Details
This is a South Reno Ride. We are starting late because the weather report says it will be cool. The weather report suggests that there will be rain but nearly a week out, this is likely wrong. We'll watch.
This ride begins at the rC willey's parking lot and heads out to the East on Steamboat. We go down Rio Wrangler and then take Western Skies. We turn up the hill at the school and continue on the bike path to the mini top. We take Rancho Verde and Virginia Foothills to Rim Rock and cross Geiger to Kivetts and then Toll. We cruise down the hill and then take Curti Ranch behind the Mavrick and go up to the old Virginia Bike path. Old Virginia takes us to Damonte Ranch and we then take this to Rubblestone and La Guardia. We continue up to Welcome Dr and then the bike path up to Arrowcreek. We take Arrowcreek around the loop and then come down to Thomas Creek. We take Ventana over to Holcomb Ranch and then take Dixon to Longley. We take Longley up to follow Alexander Lake over to Erica Geif and then come down Veterans to the Start.
