Welcome!
With Cycle to Zero, Center Ride out, and NorCal AIDS Cycle behind us, we can focus on a super fun ride – the Ken & Marauder Tahoe Ride! This is a super nice 72-mile day with stunning views, good climbs and nice descents! Elevation is high and oxygen thin! I think that’s one of the reasons this ride is always a fun challenge for me. We start in Tahoe city and do a clockwise loop of the lake. This is more of a social ride meaning we may not have support, or TRLs, or route sheets. If you want to go off-route and do something different, that’s totally cool!
Thought I would send out a tiny bit more info on the ride. You don’t have to use it, but it’s here for you. Please print it yourself or store it on your phone if you want it. Printed copies won’t be available.
