BCI is coordinating a week of cycling and adventure in and around Carson City, Nevada at the end of May.
As plans develop they will be posted here but plan on an 8 hour drive to Carson City,
or fly to Reno in 4 1/2 hours with 1 connection (23 miles from Carson City = 1.5 hour with RTC bus)
(potentially with bicycles and luggage hauled up by trailer)
Dreamed up by the wonderful experiences of BCI Member Mark Shapiro, we already have 50 rooms reserved, at two adjacent hotels with plans for various rides and hikes in the area, and a chance to explore one of the nicest parts of Nevada.
For details, reach out to Mark at markshapiro.email@gmail.com

Those who enjoy cycling in town can explore the tree-lined streets around the Kit Carson Trail, featuring more than 60 historical landmarks. The nearby V&T Trail is another popular ride, taking cyclists along a section where the old railroad once ran and into Longview Ranch Trails, weaving through quiet neighborhoods and past parks and playgrounds. On the eastern side of the city, the Linear Park Trail takes riders along a paved multi-use path that extends from Governors Field to Moffat Open Space and on to the Mexican Ditch Trail. Click here for all trails.
More advanced bike routes close but outside of Carson City include the Franktown Loop, which offers a scenic ride through estate- and farm-lined roads, Kingsbury Grade, a very challenging climb to Lake Tahoe with stunning views along the way, and the ride from Carson City to Virginia City, with a steep climb that leads to this famous old mining town.
