RiReno NV and surrounding area riders.

I will be moving to sparks NV and just wanted to connect with the riders in the area so I could learn were to ride and find a good group of people and riders. i will be brand new to the area and would really love to get to know some of you before we roll into town.

Thanks.

hey buckle. Not sure what the hotshot scene is like ... being a middle aged dude with a very limited quiver. But I have some lake knowledge if that's what you are looking for?

Lake knowledge would be a great start. Do you still live in the area and ride?

Yes. I am in Reno. We mostly go to pyramid. It's alkaline, so you need to do some extra maintenance, and the ramp totally sucks, but the water really cannot be beat. Even on a holiday weekend if the weather is right, you can get flat water.

Aside from pyramid, when there's water, lahontan can be pretty decent.

Bullards Bar is about 2 hours away. The tow there sucks (over sierra then on very twisty mountain roads), but on the right day it's great.

Many Reno people weekend at almanor. I hate almanor. The water is never ever good there.

We never do the mountain lakes (tahoe/donner/boca/stampede) because they're colder.

Frenchmans is close but it's pretty tiny.

Were is the ramp on pyramid? I was looking at it on google maps and couldn't find a marina or anything. Can you taste the salt water? Are the mountain lakes water temps nice during the hot part of the summer? What's your name on Facebook I would love to have you as a connection. Sorry for all the questions, I am just excited and extremely nervous to leave a place with lakes I know very well and a large group of riders.

Thanks.
