Bike ride to impact travel in Tahoe on Sunday

Expect to see a ton of bicyclists on the roads Sept. 7 for the annual Tour de Tahoe.

Cyclists will leave MontBleu in Stateline beginning at 6:30am Sunday, travel through South Lake Tahoe, head north up Highway 89 through Emerald Bay, the West Shore and into Tahoe City, then take Highway 28 back to Highway 50 and finish back at MontBleu.

The highways won’t be closed during the event. Caltrans urges motorists to leave at least 3 feet of space between their vehicles and riders when passing.
