Subject: Visiting Reno/Lake Tahoe in Sept!
Could anyone offer me some great biking/running routes and swims while I visit my grandpa in Lake Tahoe/Reno. I will be there from Sept 6-11. I am really looking forward to some great biking (shipping my bike over) with a friend as I train for IMFL. IF there are any good groups to meet up with, races or great coffee shops...please pass along any suggestions! Thanks!

Tahoe Rim Trail is great for trail runs and mountain biking.

www.tahoerimtrail.org

As for road biking, anywhere along Highway 50 and 89 (loop around the lake) is good. Great views the whole way. Looking for a hill workout? Highway 431 at the northend of the lake will give you a good strength workout.

Last recommendation, trail runs from Emerald Bay heading uphill to the west provides another hill workout, sprawling views of the Lake Tahoe, and eventually to remote mountain lakes (and lots of granite and perhaps snow).

Have fun!
