Re Tahoe- I did it the week AFTER Labor Day with a friend who lives nearby. Since all the out of towners were gone, we pretty much had the place to ourselves which was quite fun. There's a lot of traffic before Labor Day, so that would be something to consider. I'd take you on the trip if you want to do it during the week. Plenty of places to get food on the way, so that really isn't a big deal. AND we would have a place to stay as well!

I didn't do the Siskiyou century last year, BUT as SadieKate says, it is a beautiful area. Mount Shasta is a magical place-no two ways about it. And you wouldn't have to deal with much traffic. Maybe I'll do that one this year. Haven't planned that far ahead yet.
Bike Goddess - we move back to Australia Mid 2007. So Im trying to mix riding and sight seeing that way I see even more of your beautiful country.

Riding around Tahoe with you sounds fab Ill keep it in mind. Getting around the kid factor (I have three) might be a problem but if it looks like I can wrangle it anyway before I leave I will let you know. Sounds much nicer than riding with a big crowd and perhaps you can give me a tow if the lack of oxygen gets too much for me.
