Standing Impromptu Ride Offer

[Greg R]

There are several trail systems (mostly BLM land) accessible from my neighborhood, located on the high desert (east) side of Carson City. These trails range from B- to A+ but mostly lean toward B+. They can be fairly technical because of rocks (imbedded and surface, small to huge), ruts, wash outs, off-camber surfaces, sand, loose dirt, and hill climbs that range from mild to wild.

The variety can provide a great environment for skills building on a dual sport or dirt bike but not likely suitable for a large displacement ADV bike. For reference, I rate myself a B rider.

Interested? Feel free to invite yourself over and we can set up a ride…really.

The weekdays that work for me are Tuesdays or Thursdays. Weekends could also work, but the trails can get busy. I’ve got plenty of on-site parking should you truck or trailer your bike.

Please refer to the Membership Directory for my contact info.

Bump.

I’m planning on leaving my house to ride neighborhood trails (Northeast Carson City) this Sunday (4/19/26) around 1:30 to 2:00. There are at least three separate trail systems that offer a wide variety of terrains – see my original positing above for more detailed description.

If interested, let me know (reply here, e-mail, or call) so I can expect you. My address and contact information is in the Member Directory.

It was in the mid-60s with overcast skies and a slight wind. The trails were empty.

Here are a couple of pictures: the Washoe Lake overlook (my favorite stop), and; my bike taking a break.

Looks like a good day Greg! I’ve been traveling this week and couldn’t commit.

[Greg R]

No worries! Feel free to invite yourself over sometime. Since the trails are just minutes away, I typically ride one to three times a week depending on my schedule and weather.

On this last ride I found a couple of spots that are good for Shane Watts practice drills: Mid-Turn drill in a loop or figure eight; Mid-turn drill at one end with Pivot turn drill at the other end, both in a loop or figure-eight. Weekday afternoons would probably be best for drills since there is likely to be little to no trail traffic then.

Aside from practice drills, I know the trails well enough to dial-in a route that would be fun and have enough technical stuff to make the ride challenging to the skill level desired.
