Hey guys im still learning the different rides in the Reno, Tahoe, Carson area.  I thought it would be cool if everyone posted their favorite rides and shared some info or maybe even a video.  If you can include a mapquest of the ride as well.  Here is one i did yesterday. (Carson-Virginia City-MT Rose-Carson)

Ha Ha, sometimes work can just wait! 

I like spooner for a short ride as well.  I can make it up and back from my house in about 14 minutes so its a quick little fix.  (thats going the speed limit of course)

dtatum6,
I live in Minden and work at hwy88 and 395. I often duck out and take a ride down to Markleeville and then Monitor mid week. Sometime I do lunch by going up Kingsbury and eating at this little deli by Heavenly. Last weekend it was up Kingsbury, down Mt Rose, Up Gieger and down the Truck Route to Hwy 50 then back into Carson. That is a pretty good loop (aprox 130 miles) and a good fun ride for a 1/2 day.

I ride a BMW RT and my wife rides a Ninja 650.

Would be happy to go out scouting good roads and show you things like Ice House this summer. Give a shout sometime.

Washoe Valley to Carson, via Jacks Valley Road into Genoa, up Kingsbury Grade into South Lake Tahoe, around the Lake via Emerald Bay, Meeks Bay, Crystal Bay into Incline Village, then up and down Mount Rose....for the "I NEED A BREAK" type ride.
Up VC down the Truck Route for quick fixes.

Heck from Reno do, up Mt. Rose, Down Spooner, up Kingsbury, (I prefer east shore lake to west), and back down rose. That's a decent put. :)
