Night Riding

Last Tuesday Jet Lights sponsored a night ride on Peavine with the Tuesday Night Ride Group TNRG. 19 riders showed up for a great ride up Keystone Canyon, past the radio towers up to the rock cairn and back down Evans Canyon. Huge thanks to Dave and Matt at Jet Lights for the demo lights,  Eric of the TNRG for setting it all up and Randy at Black Rock Bikes for the beer afterwards.

The new Jet Blast HID 1000. This awesome light will illuminate the mountain! There are a lot of great Jet Lights on sale – check them out at http://www.jetlites.com

The TNRG is doing regular Tuesday night rides leaving from the Rancho San Rafael ballpark parking lot. Their newsletter is at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/TNRG/

Hippy Shack and other trails

The riding on Sunday  was fantastic! We started in the afternoon on the N-Trail which is in great shape. Since it was about 95 degrees on Peavine we decided to head to the Sierra. We rode Whites Creek and then up to the Hippy Shack trail. There are still a few snow drifts at the top of the HS – nothing too bad.   We ended up coming down Thomas Creek and Baby Head trail. We finished a perfect day with a tasty BBQ and beer at Black Rock Bikes – thanks Randy!

L2R: Dave, Cristy, Greg, Randy, Curtis, Nate & Steve (Bernie not pictured).

Keystone Canyon parking still not safe

December 12th, 2008 *  Keystone Canyon Reno, Nevada

Randy took these photos after our ride last Friday 12/12/08. We don’t know who owns the SUV other than he is a mtn biker. The breakin happened between 4pm and 5pm.  We noticed 3 teenagers mulling around before we left on our ride. Don’t know if they’re the perps, but it’s something to watch out for when you’re in the area.

The desert is blooming!

There is an amazing hillside on Peavine that consists of just a few acres that we call “Flower Hill”. It doesn’t bloom every year but this year it is incredible! The hill is just 200 yards north of the start of the new N-Trail along the road that follows the power line.

The camera phone photos do not do the hillside justice – try to ride by it soon it’s worth it!

Keystone Canyon Break-ins Still Happening

This from the Nevada Cycling List:

TO WARN EVERYONE, my vehicle was broken into (with items stolen) while parked Friday (4-4-08 ) at Keystone Canyon East Trailhead. Other vehicles and other reports relating to similar activity have been filed with the police. If anyone has any information as to who is responsible for these absolutely petty events, please report it to the police immediately!!
Thanks.
