Sierras and Lake Tahoe Region

The Sly Park loop is a beautiful ride around Sly Park reservoir.  The ride starts with a fire road climb, followed by a very fast and fun descent, again on a fire road.  The fire road is littered with water bars that make for exciting jumps - just watch out for small tree branches hanging where your head will likely pass when you're airborne.  This descent ends with some tight, loose single track switch backs.  At this point, you've reached the lake, and the trail stays along the shores of the lake for the rest of the loop.

 Bullard's Bar is a beautiful area in which to ride.  The loop here is comprised of some fire road, but mostly single track.  The longest portion of the ride snakes above the reservoir on rolling, twisty single track.  Be careful!  There is some slight exposure here - the trail is narrow and some areas have the potential for a long fall.

Pioneer trail is a very well built out-n-back trail which can be divided into two secions.
Starting at Harmony Ridge Market the trail gradually climbs for 6.3 miles at an easy 2% average grade all along the north of Hwy 20. This section of trail can be ridden by just about anyone comfortable on two wheels.
