Lake Tahoe: Cycling along the Truckee River

All about cycling here at Lake Tahoe


That is me on a bike!

Last time on a bike was more than 4 decades ago cycling to school in Vanderbijlpark, until Dad felt sorry for us doing the uphill to Vaal High, so he bought a bakkie and lifted us in the mornings.

Squaw Valley, home to the 1960 Winter Olympics, and the Truckee River cycle paths made for a bliss morning cycling today.

Fred is very comfortable on a bike and just loved the morning, we did 26 kilometers and he would have loved to just keep going!







A very happy Fred!



Cool mountain air, shady path, river views, just lovely.

Trip was not without incident - I stopped to show Fred a photo opportunity and he did not…!
Truckee River, crystal clear and beautiful colors.

Typical scene along the Truckee River and in town, wood cabins nestled among the pines.

Nearly back home at our timeshare, Olympic Village Inn.
