Why we have Mt Bikes



So today we set out the ride the Flume Trail. This trail is ranked as one of the top-10 trails in the nations and it is certainly the GREATEST trail either of us have ever ridden.

The start of the

 ride is really tough. Basically, we climbed for 4 miles. We rode some and walked some. Charm is the climber, I have no problem walking the really tough hills. Once we got to the top it was all worth it.

We went to Marlette Lake (a great downhill) and it was breath taking. More photos will come soon. Then we connected to The Flume. This is an AMAZING trail ride along the edge of the mountain. The trail is great and the views are outstanding.

After riding along the edge, we dropped back into Incline Village. Litterally dropped back down! I rode my brakes the entire drop just to stay at 20mph. What a ride! Just 14 miles, but the most beautiful 14 miles we've ever ridden.
