The USFS has posted its notice for proposed action on the Rim to Reno trail. It has come up with an alternative that would provide additional trails for mountain biking in the Belli and Ballardini Ranch areas. This proposal is available for review (under Carson Ranger District) at:
There was also a recent article in the RGJ here:

After an initial review, the Poedunk board is very encouraged by the proposed "Alternative 1" that adds approximately 14 miles of new trails that would allow mountain bike use. We tend to endorse this proposal, but would welcome and seek additional comments from you first. And of course you can also send in your personal comments as well to the USFS.
Please take a moment to look at the USFS proposed action and RGJ article and reply to this email or to the USFS with your comments, suggestions and/or endorsement of one of the alternatives.
-- The Poedunks mission is to maintain and enhance Peavines non-motorized trail network by volunteering to do trail maintenance, trail building and mountain clean ups by working with the U.S. Forest Service, Washoe County Parks, the City of Reno, and other Peavine user groups.
