Extreme Weekend
September 8 - 9, 2007

Get those legs in shape as this year's extreme weekend encompassing
the challenges of the mountain and the road
The Infamous Flume Trail
and
The Tour de Tahoe - Bike Big Blue

You must RSVP directly with the Tour de Tahoe by August 31 to participate in the Tour De Tahoe
(We are starting at 6:30am. I suggest reserving before July 1 as it sells out EVERY year)

Saturday, September 8 - 9:00 am
The Flume Trail: The Flume Trail is considered to be one of the most beautiful mountain trails in the country. The initial climb is steep ascending 1,157' in less than a half mile! But once you reach the summit, you will quickly forget your promises to never attempt this again. Marlette Lake offers the serenity of very few lakes. The next mile or so winds along Marlette Lake giving you ample time to catch your breath and take in the beauty. Then you approach the beginning of the Flue Trail that requires some technical experience but more importantly, requires no fear of heights. You literally ride along a 1,600' cliff overlooking Lake Tahoe with unparalleled vistas. Finally, you enter the Flume's descent where you plunge 1,500' in less than 3 miles challenging your mental limit of speed.
Cost: No charge. Contact John if you need to rent a bike.

Sunday, September 9 - 6:30 am
Tour De Tahoe - Bike Big Blue: This ride is being run by bikethewest.com and we will be joining their event. The 72 mile course circumnavigates the highways clockwise around the Lake Tahoe in both Nevada and California. It includes a challenging 800' climb to a rest stop overlooking Emerald Bay and a 1000' climb to Spooner Junction.
