hello all,

I'm from London but heading to San Francisco for work at the end of the month.

I'm planning on riding near Tahoe if I can find an easy way. My current plan is to get shuttles off these guys
http://www.cyclepaths.com/tours/shuttle.html

any recommendations or pointers?

I'm not really a downhiller - just enjoy singletrack with technical challenges. I don't mind riding a few miles if the trip is worth it but if big climbs can be avoided then I will.

How hardcore is Northstar? would it be worth doing an uplift day? I'm planning on bringing my own bike (Cove Hustler - 5" travel trail bike).

cheers

It's probably not a bad idea to have Cyclepaths show you around. Since you'll only be in town for a little bit it will save you issues with trying to figure out trails and shuttles and stuff like that.

Northstar has more than just DH trails. They XC trails there are pretty fun and with a 5" travel bike you would probably have a pretty good time there.

Alot of trails are still snowed in but hopefully that will change by the time you are here. I'd offer to show you around myself but I'll be out of town for a wedding.

Yep Cyclepaths is good. You MIGHT even have me as your guide.

looks like cyclepaths will not be doing any shuttling that weekend.

northstar on opening day it is - bring it on!

Howdy,

Not sure how long you'll be in the area, but you might also check out the many open space areas just south of San Francisco. Here's a link to the Mid Peninsula Open Space District, otherwise know as Midpen or MROSD:
MROSD I particularly recomend the El Corte Madera and Long Ridge preserves.

Just a thought...
