  1. I'm going to Lake Tahoe this november (12th/13th/14th), for a friend's
    wedding. Now I know there's good riding there in the summer, but does
    anyone know if it'll be rideable in november. I don't mind a bit of snow
    or ice or cold, but I know some places either don't allow riding in
    winter, or are just too exposed and cold to be sensible.

    I'm probably going to be staying in Incline Village as that's where the
    wedding is. From looking on the web, it looks like the two big trails
    nearby are the Flume trail and the Tahoe Rim Trail. Any idea if I can
    ride these in winter and if I'd want to? Northstar and the other bike
    park nearby are both closed for the winter by this point. Also, I'm
    quite likely going to not have a car, so would rather ride somewhere
    right nearby. I know I can only ride Tahoe Rim on the friday or Sunday,
    as it's off limits to cycles on odd days of the month.

    Secondly, does anyone else in the area fancy meeting up for a ride that
    weekend, either the Friday or the Sunday, or possibly the Saturday
    starting early in the day.

  2. I live in Reno(on the other side of the hill) and if your in Tahoe(on
    the lake) it'll be very very VERY cold. I wouldn't be suprised if it
    snowed several times in your short stay. It'll definetly be rideable
    that time of year, as long as you wear a jacket and a hat. Incline
    village is really nice too, so you'll love it. Uhhh, as far as the Flume
    and Ridge trails go, I'm not quite sure if youd want to ride them, but
    if you take a 20 minute drive to reno There is more than enough Muni and
    Trials to keep a man happy for well over 3 days(or 3 years for that
    matter). But since you won't have a car, Maybe we could make an
    arrangement for me to pick you up and go riding and such I would be more
    than happy to give you a ride around, on the 13th and 14th. I'll call
    gabe too and see if he's interested and my friend Sean will be more than
    happy also. Email me 'Catboy's Mail' ([email hidden]) . and we can
    make further arrange ments as to time and places and such.

  3. Hey Catboy, I hope you and your friends can make it to MUni Weekend. We
    really should connect. I'm interested in Reno area trails as well. When
    I go up there with my wife and her friends, it would be nice to have an
    alternative activity to hanging around in a smokey casino!

    Meanwhile, Tahoe in November will be a [censored] shoot. Tell you friends to
    get married two months earlier, then sneak out to MUni Weekend. Most
    likely there will probably be snow already, which makes the trails hard
    to find and would make the Flume Trail particularly dangerous. If you
    can get down to Reno it's probably a much better bet.

    Also, if you contact me at the email address below, I'll hook you up
    with Lloyd Johnson. If he's available that weekend, he might be able to
    pick you up and bring you to a trail or two.

    According to wunderground.com, the average high that time of year is
    49 degrees and only 1 in 5 days is cloudy. Chances of being able to
    ride in T-shirt and shorts are pretty high. But never underestimate
    the weather in mountainous areas. The worst would probably be high
    winds driving sleet then turning cold. Brrrrrrr.

    Now that's more sensible. I wear a ski helmet riding on really cold
    days. Keeps me toasty warm.
