Cycling enthusiasts are invited to meet and ride with Tour de France champion Andy Schleck and cycling legends Jens Voigt and Frank Schleck at two events to show support for the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway and the Tour de Nez.

The athletes will be in the Tahoe-Reno area to train for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Aspen.

The cyclists will be at the old Reno Arch at the Siena hotel Aug. 15 from 8-9am. The ride departs the Siena at 9am and takes a scenic tour through Reno at a leisurely pace (15 mph) and concludes at Galena Market on Thomas Creek Road.

A donation of $25 for the ride and $100 for ride and photo opportunity is suggested and benefits the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway.

Advanced riders can go with the pros up Mt. Rose Highway.

On Aug. 16 at 9am will be a meet and greet the pros at the Homewood-West Shore Café parking lot; then a ride with the pros for the first 20 miles of their training ride.
