I wish you could make it too but I also know how important it is to get that thing back in the water. We'll do another one in the late fall..

Looks like it is, is this going to affect parking at Silverland and riding through town to the trail?

Looks like there is also a 5k run for the day also.

I want to do a VC ride really bad but I would like to stay in VC at the silver land. I'd like to pull in Friday evening ride all day Saturday and enjoy some drinks that evening in historic VC then head home Sunday. I think VC is one of the coolest little towns I've been to.

Might want to be on the look out for hunters, there is a coyote hunt tomorrow all over northern Nevada. I'd love to go on this trip but Rzr still needs its recalled parts so I'll be taking part in the hunt tomorrow.
Stay safe and have a good trip.

Yeah you might have to park on D street or by the RV park but once we get out of town, it's free sailing.. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160514/aef1e7444e08fb478441965a33dac37c.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160514/739bff0be8b58cc01033e148f609815d.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160514/b65fcc218829c2e1bc46fb6aa438350d.jpg

That's how I do it, sometimes I stay down in Carson and haul it up for the day. It's nice to stay at silver land and be able to hit the trails right from the hotel.[emoji106]

Definitely a good ride, as you can see the turbo got thirsty again :confused:

All the rain last week with the right temps and the landscape doesn't get any better in Nevada. Wild flowers going off and the rolling hills had a green glow with fresh grasses.

There was a valley, right outside of Reno, that Ron and I lost count at around 70 of them and many new babies. The spring flowers were blooming like crazy. As good as I've seen in May years. This is the best time to ride in the high Desert.
