Since Keith is getting married, we decided that a bunch of fantastic Tahoe rides with his buddies were order. This is my idea of quality bachelor party debauchery:

GREAT PICS!!!
What trail is this?
I live in Sac but have never been riding in Tahoe. I'm a fairly experienced newbie and I just got my GF started on the MTB. If you dont mind my asking, whats a decent tahoe trail thats a good workout, good scenery, but not alot of technical stuff... I love the roxky stuff but my GF hates it... we're working on that.
Thanks

Tahoe Riding Rules
I am just the opposite... I am looking for the rockiest stuff I can find :-D
Most of what we rode (and what is depicted in these pictures) is the Tahoe Rim Trail. We also rode Mr. Toads, Western States and a few others. If you want a less technical, beautiful ride, check out the Flume Trail.cdloental78 said:

Satr Lake...
That looks like "The Punisher!" ride from heavanley to mr toads. That is Star Lake below Freel Pass.......OooooooHHHH Awwwwwww....That is one of my favorite all time rides!
Might have to do that this Sunday!
You guys looked like you were still having fun when we saw you on Sunday. Nice Gash! I fell off the log too! on Missing Link....did not have enough speed or momentum getting up on the second log....rolled into a very thorny bush. Ouch!
We put in close to 30 miles (thanx to Nalgene water filters!). It was hot by Tahoe standards....good thing we had ice cold beer waiting for us back at JFR's truck.
Any details on the Grouse Ridge Thingy in two weeks??????/

Gashes
Grouse Ridge is on! We'll probably convene at the lookout and start our rides from there. I'll have more details soon. There will be some sweet riding though!
Which log did you fall off? I tried the log that is at the first flat intersection on Missing Link (just before the climbing section). Not high at all, but kinda tricky. That is where I earned the nasty gash on my shin, as my front wheel went off one side and the rear wheel went off the other. However, I did clean both of the two big up-and-over logs things at the bottom of ML. My big victory, however, was cleaning every section of Mr. Toad's. Yooohoo!bigboulder said:

I Fell
off the second "up and over" log near the bottom of ML
Congrats on clearing everything toads....I have yet to ride toads on an FS rig....this weekend may be the first time I get to try. A couple years back at the Tahoe Gathering I cleared all of toads on my hardtail...some of it by sheer accident or luck.
Are you going to be camping at grouse???

Oh...I remember
the log bridge you are talking about....I did the exact same thing...only I was able to keep from falling somehow. Did you try and put your front wheel into the groove in the middle like I did....Thats a tough little bridge that I would like to clear next time

Know that routine
I was quite skilled at this technique, which is why I no longer drink :-/

Not sure
I am unfamiliar with these reference points. The Rim Trail only heads one direction from Heavenly (towards Freel). We went that direction and ended at the bottom of Mr. Toad's (it was a shuttle ride).Jay Farman said:
