Title: You should ride to Viriginia City. (pics)
Post by: CirclesCenter on June 05, 2006, 01:05:56 AM
Just a few random pics I snapped. The last one is the 100 mile view. On a clear day maybe, today was like 60 - 70 miles. The road is incredible BTW. And very well maintained. (And poorly patrolled.)

Shhhhh.  Don't tell anybody about my favorite local road.  And please don't mention that the truck route side is some of the most sublime asphalt in all the free world.  For heaven's sake don't let on that a Ferrari club used to hold national level hillclimbs there, further proving the caliber of that road. :)

What a cool little town.  That candy shop looks like it's straight out of the 1950s.

Its a pretty touristy place these days, but there are some really cool shops.  The aforementioned candy shop ranking high.  Just be careful where you park the car/walk as the sink holes might get you.  A definate stop if you are in the Reno/Tahoe/Carson City area.

<<--I live in Carson City.  I would ride with you, but I sold my bikes.  If you ever need a place to wrench though, you are welcome in my garage.
