Navigational tool helps Tahoe cyclists, hikers

Lake Tahoe bicycling advocate has created a navigational aid designed to make it easier for people in the basin to locate a hike or bike ride that best matches their interest and skill level.

It’s called Tahoe’s Ultimate Bicycling Guide.

The guide covers five regions: California Alps, South Shore, North Shore, Carson Valley and Truckee. For each region there are suggestions for mountain biking, road cycling
and cruiser rides.

Each category describes a ride or hike with distance, GPS coordinates, trailhead details, and challenge level. Additionally, each page is complete with a Google map, photographs, a brief historical background, and is GPS enabled. The GPS enabling features allow smart phone users to locate their position on their ride/hike in real time.

The Tahoe guide is administered by the nonprofit Team Tahoe, a nonprofit.
