Chugging over the top of the first hill.
8/07/06 Monday
We went down to Reno the next day to (finally!) pick up Nancy’s new bike. We—I—decided to try it out with a ride on the Tahoe Rim Trail, starting from Spooner Summit and riding up to The Bench.
Nancy at the top of the trail, overlooking Lake Tahoe.
The trail is about 10 miles round-trip, with about 1700’ of climbing. There’s two main climbs—a mile of uphill at the start of the trail, and a long grind to the top. It’s a blast coming back down, with mostly smooth dirt.
What a cute little red bike!
Nancy says that she likes her new bike, but it doesn’t make the climbs any easier.
