The Flume Trail

It was a beautiful day up at Lake Tahoe, so it was a tough choice between the beach or a bike ride. Mike and I opted for exercise and headed up to Incline Village where we dropped a car, then made our way to Spooner Lake State Park where we unloaded our biles and started our ride up Lake Tahoe's famed Flume Trail.

The beginning of the ride is a butt-kicker with more than 1200 feet of vertical climbing from a starting altitude of over 7000 feet. But once the hard part is over, the fun begins.

Once we reached Marlette Lake, the views on the old Flume Trail become amazing -- some of Lake Tahoe's best.
