Default Lake Tahoe Ride

With a couple of friends I intend to ride around Lake Tahoe in September. Anyone else interested could get in touch with me.

The distance is only about a metric or a bit longer and the max altitude is only around 7200 feet. While there is a ways on a highway/freeway most of it is on a fairly wide two lane. And the last 15 miles I seem to remember is downhill. South Lake where we start is only about 5,000 feet.

It was a slog. I think around Lassen might be more enjoyable.

Around Crater Lake is fun -- and car-free some days. https://home.nps.gov/crla/planyourvi...-rim-drive.htm It's only 24 miles. You can do laps -- or start outside the park. https://www.craterlakecentury.com/

Vasona Lake is nice, too. So many lakes to choose from.
