I know it’s wet and cold outside but it’s still prime time for riding and racing. dhReno is proud to say, We’re putting the band back together and going racing! Our 2012 team of 15-20 riders will be focusing on riding hard, having fun, and learning new skills as a team.

We are looking for riders of all skill levels from in and around the Reno and Tahoe area. We don’t expect you to win every race, or even place for that matter. We just want to get a group of fun loving riders together that have a great attitude on and off the trail.

As a team rider, a $100 fee will get you a jersey, team pricing on products sold by Black Rock Bicycles including all parts, frames and forks currently available. Access to a crew of very knowledgeable mechanics to help with any troubles you may have with prerace tuning and a whole network of people to ride, race and dig with.

To apply, please send a brief bio to GoinDH@gmail.com. If you are a returning team rider please email for more info.

The Whole Enchilada: Top to Bottom

The best ride in Moab!

From Phil Shep: “Arguably one of the top mountain bike trails on the planet. Linking up several Moab favourites, this trail spans almost 30 miles and has a cumulative descent of over 8,000 feet.

The beauty of this ride is not just the sheer scale of it – but its diversity. Starting in high alpine forest at Burro Pass, the ride transitions to aspens, high desert and finishes off plummeting down to the Colorado River on exposed singletrack.

The type of riding if vastly diverse as well: from slow, steep and technical rocky singletrack to wide open high speed sections and everything in between.

My first time doing this ride could only be described as ‘complete sensory overload’ .”
