Well...America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride is full (of course!), but you can do one of the rides at the Tahoe Sierra Century right in your own backyard! It's not around the lake but it should be awful purty!Originally Posted by NorthTahoe
Tahoe Sierra Century
I haven't done this one and would like to if we're not in Utah then.

Summer rides
I have an idea- Let's do our own ride around Tahoe. I did it last year (we started at South Lake Tahoe. It's not hard, beautiful, and lots of places to stop for food. One of my friends played SAG (her husband went with me on his bike)so she took pics.
Maybe this could be the TE ride of the year?!

Chico....anyone coming up here for Unknown Coast?
I am planning on the Wildflower also; there has finally been a little break in the rain to allow for some training outside of the gym!
Is anyone thinking about the Tour of the Unknown coast? It's supposed to be one of the hardest centuries. I am probably doing the 50 mile or metric century with a fellow cycless, a children's writer.
Tahoe is pretty fabulous.The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. ~Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green

Chico Wildflower
I reserved a room at the Thunderbird Lodge (party of two) in Chico for the night of April 23rd and will not need it. Does anyone want to see if I can pass it on to a fellow cyclist doing the ride? I am going to camp at the Fair Grounds as I am coming as a party of one.

Chico Wildflower Hotel Issue
Oh good. You saw my note about having a room. I read you were looking for one.
I don't remember the price. They were giving me the deal for the Wildflower and I asked for a room for two. I was thinking I could call them up and tell them someone else is going to pay for the reservation as you are arriving before me. I could give them your name and then have you call them with the credit card information to hold the room for you. I have had the reservation for a couple months.
It is worth a try if you are still looking for a cheap room. I think it was around $50 or so.
E-mail me at jssolberg@sbcglobal.net. I can give you more information via my e-mail.
