Tahoe Sierra Century Bike Ride

Tahoe Sierra Century Bike Ride

The 10^th annual Tahoe Sierra Century will be held this coming Saturday, September 22, 2012 in the greater Lake Tahoe area. This ride is known for its scenic beauty and riding challenges!

Everyone will begin and end in Squaw Valley, California. Depending on the riding distance you’ve chosen 30 miles (novice), 60 miles, or 100 miles (The Century Ride), your route will take you on a great adventure in the Lake Tahoe – Truckee area.

For those that go for the Century Ride (100 mile ride) you’ll start in Squaw Valley and then ride along the Truckee River (Highway 89 South) to Tahoe City. From Tahoe City, you’ll ride along the thirteen miles of the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.

Once you arrive in Kings Beach, you’ll take Highway 267 and climb up to Brockway Summit. Once you reach the top of the summit, you descend into Martis Valley, passing by Northstar and into Truckee, California. You’ll make your way through Truckee and head up a strenuous 8-mile climb into Tahoe Donner.

After Tahoe Donner, you descend back into Truckee for a 5-mile ride along Donner Lake and then you’ll climb back up Old Highway 40 over Donner Summit. You’ll be ready for lunch at Cisco Grove. After lunch, you’ll head back up the Donner Summit and back down to Donner Lake.

Your last fifteen miles will be along the Truckee River corridor (Highway 89 South) taking you back to Squaw Valley.

This will be a great day of riding for everyone. Once the ride is over, a dinner will be served at the end of the event from 1:30 – 6:00 p.m. with live music provided by North Tahoe High School (NTHS) and North Tahoe Middle School (NTMS) Bands.
