Reno-Tahoe Odyssey - June 4, 2010
SATURDAY March 27 7 AM
WOW - I am losing it. The ride is Saturday March 27th at 7 am. Sorry about the confusion.The rest of this newsletter is the same as the on I just sent. The bike ride is Saturday on the river.
Meet at Reno High, park in the school parking lot on Booth. This will be an easy River Bike Path ride. Next week we will look at going to Verdi or perhaps Red Rock. I am heading out to Red Rock today.
If you have not ridden yet jump on this ride. I rode the path last week and it is all open. 16 mile flat ride and perhaps some coffee and bread at the Great Harvest Bread when we are done.
I know some of you might be coming from Sparks. Meet us on the trail. If you got your Poker Run shirts from last year then please wear them. I just meet Jason at the Silver Peak, had to stop on the way home to replenish my body, and he asked about the shirt. Well now he is already registered for the next Poker Run. Besides, we will be able to see you.

This was a great ride! It was well organized, had friendly riders, and a relaxed ride for a great donation. I can't wait for this year's ride to be even bigger!
If you participated in the Poker Run last year could you please go to Fat Boy Biking Poker Run Reviews and put in a review of the event. I think if people read some reviews that it will help persuade them to join us this May. I know this is a local event but last year we had eight people from out of state join us on our Poker Run.
May 21, 2010 - Bike to Work Day
This looks like a week long event. I will try to get our group in and promote this as we get closer.Chico Wildflower - April 26, 2010
We have two rooms reserved. I know three of us are going as a group. Others have said they are going but getting their own accommodations. If you do go wear your fat boy shirt from the poker run to promote our ride.There are a few of us going to this event. This is an awesome biking adventure. Rides range from 65 to 100 miles in the hills to 15 to 60 miles on the flat land. Early Registration is suggested and that is not a joke. Last year I was stupid enough to wait till the day of the event and they would not let me register because the event was full. I still rode the race but if I had problem or wanted some refreshments - I was on my own.
What makes this such an adventure? Last year registration was full which is unbelievable when you consider that they had 3,500 registered riders and I know of at least one who biked it on his own.
3,500 people on a bike in one area, all starting within two hours of each other was a great sight.
If you are interested in car pooling let me know. Some of us are looking at driving down the morning of and staying there Sunday night. Some of us are looking at going down the day before and coming back after the race. Right now we have five going. Maybe more!
