Ride of the Month: Lost Sierra Bikepacking Route
The Lost Sierra Route is a 250-mile gravel bikepacking loop starting and ending in Truckee CA. The route dives straight into the backcountry of the Lost Sierra Region, known for its rugged landscape and gold rush history. Combining Tahoe, Sierra, and Plumas National Forests, the diversity of this route is deep in history, and beauty and filled with surprises and challenges!
Corral After Caldor
Nearly everywhere I rode after two months in California had been affected by wildfires, and Tahoe was no exception. In 2021 the Caldor Fire ripped through the Tahoe basin, luckily sparing most homes and infrastructure, but the forest was not as lucky.
