thanks for sharing your action shots trance1 do you have a big biking group there as well as of now there's only 2 other pinoys that ride regularly with me, it's been getting warmer na and we've had another pinoy join us a couple of weeks ago and a puerto rican who's an adopted pinoy. anyways, reno is quite a big cycling town and is actually the home town of the first american to win the tour de france (greg lemond) , in short, there's a pretty big population of bikers and outdoor enthusiasts that live here.

Are you from Reno, NV? this was taken at a totally different trail here in reno. it 's a newly constructed bike trail, about 10 miles long and about 90% singletrack with a lot of switchbacks. only a couple of people know about this trail coz the guys that built it wanted to protect the land from xc dirtbike riders and 4x4 drivers, it took them about 3 yrs. to build this loop. will post pics on my next outing. oh and yes i am from reno nevada.

Those look like nice trails. Are you near Durango, Colorado? What's the basic difference of the trails there than in Nevada?

i think colorado is about a day's drive away from here and i've heard that they have way more trails than we do here plus they have better foliage (trees) than we do. high desert kasi dito eh. anyways, we might go to another trail again in the next week or so, i'll post pics as soon as i can.

Wow! That's a nice trail with snow. It's looking more like Colorado than the other trails. Lots of trees and very high elevation according to the Altimeter reading. Thanks for posting the pictures. Must be fun to bike there. How many kms?
