Virginia City, Carson City, Franktown

We will collect at 9:45am at RC Willey's and sign in and get ready to roll at 10:00 am.

This is the classic route where we go out steamboat parkway, and wind over to Geiger Grade and climb to Virginia City. We then descend the Truck route (a great descent) and wind to Highway 50 which has traffic but a wide shoulder and in 2 miles we descend to Carson City and stop by the LA bakery before climbing to Lakeside Heights and down to old 395, Franktown road and more old 395.
