Upcoming Events 5/17-5/23
New Weekly Post
With the outdoor season now in full swing, I thought it may be of service to all of y’all if there was a singular place to see who is doing what in the coming week. At first, this list will be very incomplete because it relies on me finding out about the event before it happens. My hope over time is y’all will give me a heads up and some details, just like the trail reports, so that this can serve as a singular place for a quick look at what is on the calendar for the week. Since the greater Reno/Tahoe area is so abundant with activity opportunities, I can see this getting out of hand with listings. With that in mind, here is a rough sketch of the (loose) boundaries for getting events on these posts:
Active Events (Run, Bike, Hike, etc) or
Multimodal Advocacy (Trail Karma, Council Meetings, etc)
Truckee Meadows Local
Access Changes Impacting Trails (Fire, Construction, Other Events, etc)
If you are an event organizer, or just a participant that knows of something coming up, send me an email about it and you might see it on the weekly post.
This Week’s Events
Weekday Mornings: Truckee Meadows Bike Alliance’s President, Ky Plaskon, is making himself available for anyone to chat about bikes and bike advocacy most mornings during bike month. He will be hanging out at The Dropout’s bike shop and coffee bar on Pine Street downtown. This week he can be found there Tues, Thurs, and Friday from 7-7:30am. Look for the guy with the wavy silver hair and big smile.
Tuesday, May 18, 5:30pm : Tuesday Night Ride Group, as their name suggests, will have their usual mountain bike ride. The ride changes location each week so check their Facebook group or join their google email group to get direct updates. This week (5/18) they are meeting at the softball field parking lot above Rancho San Rafael and rolling out around 5:30pm. If it’s your first TNRG ride, know they don’t have a mass start or group guides so it’s on new riders to either bring their own friends or make some by introducing yourself.
Sunday, May 23, 9am: Biggest Little Trail Stewards is holding another trail day. Thank you to everyone who turned out to work on the Sierra Vista Connector this past weekend. The rain cut it short so there is still finish work to be done. RSVP required. Details here on the Facebook Event Page.
Sunday, May 23, 10-11am: Tahoe Pyramid Trail organization is having their annual Cookie Ride. All cookies are home made by volunteers and DELICIOUS. If you would like to be a baker or just a consumer, details are in the link.
That’s what’s on my radar at the moment. If you know of something I missed or is coming soon, send me an email and it might get listed. See you out there!
