Specialized Trail Crew Potential





Whoa!

There is fun singletrack to be had at at _____ in Truckee, CA. You can just do the loop, or you can add on some of the Northstar trails. There are some goodies in there, so be sure to check them out.


THAT'S ME!

When in Northstar, be sure to stay off the chairlifts. They do not like bikeriders on the lifts! Geez!








If you ride in Tahoe in May or June or even a little later, you are likely to encounter snow blocking your trail on the higher elevations. This big ice cap was on the Stanford Rock trail and it was June! A beautiful day indeed!







in the pics!)


Now, just as easily in May, you can encounter thundershowers. If it starts to rain, go low! We were on the Tahoe Rim Trail when we saw the storm rapidly approaching. When you get wet at high elevation, it gets COLD! Note to self - keep moving, don't stop, get to lower elevation to avoid cold, brrrrrrrrrrr!


Of course, there are many, many beautiful days for activities in the mountains. Look at these awseome days, also early in the summer. You can't beat days like that! And there are many to be had! Woo hoo!
Thanks for reading.
