    Heading to Tahoe for a sunday 14.4 mile SUP race. Stopped in Mammoth for a layover so rode the mammoth loop and part of the trail to June lake. This pic is lake Mary.

    Nice to have a plated bike riding to and from the motel.

    Thanks. Hoping for no wind. Going to be a very scenic paddle. I got the 310 since was looking for a 250. I just enjoy poking around in the boonies.

    Beautiful morning on Lake Tahoe for the distance race. I have a lot of excuses why I attempted a different course realizing soon I made a mistake and paddled an extra .4 miles before merging back into the pack of 175 racers. 8th place in my 50+ division but at speeds I'm not so pleased with. Elevation sure, boat chop as well. In the end it was close to 15 miles under my own power and you need to keep the paddle moving or you won't finish. Good training for riding the Husky :cool:

    Heck that looks fantastic. Must be a huge lake. I hear the skiing there is pretty darn good too. Quite an all year round wonderland.
    Well done in the race, the extra 400 meters would have cost you a few places.

    Oh man, don't get me started on the skiing. Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl, North Star, Kirkwood...

    And they are all so close! Wish it was ski season.

    Rode a short couple of trails close in before heading south. The Corral Trail is only about 6-7 miles but fun, banked and tight through the woods near the top. Multi use trail from horses to moto.
