I just learned that I (and my supervisor) have been approved to travel to the TRB Applications Conference in Reno from May 8-12. This will probably be the one conference in my life that is so focused on what I DO for a living, and I love the high mountain desert - it has been about 25 years since I've been in that part of the world.

Do we have any Reno members? Are there bike trails? Are rental bikes available? We will be at the Peppermill Resort Hotel, which is apparently close to the airport. We have receptions the first couple of evenings, but I would like to take one of our evenings there and go biking or hiking.

Is anyone familiar about the area? Thankfully the hotel apparently has a very nice workout facility, so that will help me to work off that food I shouldn't eat but know I probably will
