Start Location: Paco's Bike Shop, 12047 Donner Pass Rd B4, Truckee, CA 96161
Ride Description and Notes:
NOTE: Some folks are starting at 8:30 to avoid the heat and have an easier pace.
Class 1 and 3 e-bikes are allowed on Truckee's paved trails.
Some new and old trails on this Enduro. We will start with a ride around Donner Lake, then take the Deerfield Trail to 89. We'll get on the Legacy Trail out to the Martis Valley Trail to Northstar.
We will take the (new) extended Martis Valley Trail to the Northstar Village parking lot where water and bathrooms are available further up into the Village at mile 19.
The big climb is up Big Springs to the Ritz-Carlton entrance and descend back down Highlands Dr. to repeat the Martis Valley Trail. This climb direction is opposite of previous years and much milder.
Much of the rest of the route is like last years, riding thru Glenshire and Old Greenwood but we will not be climbing Rainbow and Shussing toward the end. Instead, we take the Grey's Crossing Trail and Trout Creek Trail back...much less climbing.
Regroups with bathrooms and water:
- Northstar Village - mile 19
- Riverview Sports Park - mile 30
- Old Greenwood golf course - mile 42
Chit Chat and goodies at Coffee Bar Bakery afterwards.
