After Yosemite, Jen and I decided to switch it up a bit and spend a few days riding bikes. Plus, Murphy really needed a good run. So, we went up to South Lake Tahoe to sample a couple trails. We ended up doing the Christmas Valley Trail and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, both of which were excellent.
The riding around here is extremely good, and very unique compared to most of the places I’ve ridden. It has some of the sidewalk-smooth singletrack that you find in the Wasatch with lots of excellent rock features straight out of the North Shore. This makes the trails an interesting mix of easy enough that any intermediate rider could ride them, but also with enough options that really good riders can have a really good time. Not to mention the fact that this place is absolutely beautiful, which never hurts.
