Hope that you find something and share it with the group. I am with you when it comes to the serious rides like the tahoe rim. Though my big ambition is to eventually bike around lake tahoe on a multi day ride/camping trip.

Thanks, guys, I’m not as young as I used to be (who is) so mountain bikeing is out. I was thinking more along the lines of leasure downtown rides like the blue line thing (thanks Dennis). Noticed on BikeCarson.com a month or so ago that there was something along those lines. Maybe if I went to a meeting I could help organize something?

Check out BikeCarson.com. We have several group rides throughout the year, and always post the details on the site.

And good job on your multi mode commuting!

I try to bike everyday to and from work. I don’t know much about groups during the weekend that get together and ride. I remember reading something last year about biking the blue line as part of the downtown effort but when I gave it a try a couple of times no one came by. So I think you will probably have the best luck making friends and getting a ride together with them. I think you have a great idea and hope to hear more.

Last post was 9/22/08 so I don’t know if anyone comes back to this site, but I wanted to say something. I’ve been commuting from Carson City, where I live, to Reno five days a week. Not all by bike…take the bus with the bike, since the beginning of spring. It’s been great. I would like to get involved with group rides on the weekends but don’t seem to find any information. Can anyone help me on this?

I also live and work in Carson and bike commuting has been great for me as well. The last two weeks I didn’t ride because of allergies and my bike being in the shop but that stops today when I get my bike back. I actually started the bike commute as a way of showing my kids that riding a bike longer than a mile isn’t all the hard. Now we are all looking forward to biking into school and work each day. I am wondering how biking in the snow will work out.

Jeff, is there a way you can post pics of Dan commuting to work with his dog?
That would be pretty cool.

Thanks for the mention on my shop(bicycle authority).Friday commute in Carson was so rainy I had to put together a spare bike with full fenders.I think my dog was more wet than me.Burley trailers are drafty. Friday night and Saturday was all pugsly.

Good on you my friend and fellow commuter. I wish you the best of luck with your cycling, and also have written a few articles on cycling I thought you might find engaging. Here is the most recent one:

Good work Jeff!

I moved work farther away from home and have to dress semi-nice, so things have gotten tougher. BUT coworkers live close to me and my wife WORKS close to me. So I keep the motoring to a minimum.

btw, what were you packing under there?
