Starting Location: Indian Head totem inside Idlewild park.       Next to the Rose Garden and large restrooms. Giant totem will be on your left.

Description: From central Reno, very easy paced (11mph riding) super scenic, close to river, casual fun ride. Several stops. Shorter option is about 11.5 miles, or full ride is about 13.5 miles. Tiny elevation change, no traffic lights. Riding 50% on bike paths, 50% on side streets or on safer roads with a bike lane. If you enjoy the rumble of bike tires crossing wooden decked trail bridges, you will LOVE this ride.

Route: From Idlewild Park, follow the Tahoe Pyramid bikeway west through Mayberry Park, loop around the Patagonia building, and return. Optional miles go past Reno High, circle down Riverside Drive and just for fun loop into Wingfield Park.
