No Matt, I don't think that you're probably the only one, but I do hope that there are only a few of you.
 
In reality most of the participants of BMX racing are kids. It is a great way to get young people into cycling. Physical activity is not easy to promote these days and if we can do that AND have it be in a type of bicycling I'm overjoyed! Mike Day and many other stars of BMX racing are more important than Lance Armstrong in promoting cycling to a younger generation. BMX teaches great bike handling and all the other positive skills and lessons that are found in sports, AND it's FUN. You wouldn't believe how many world class adult cyclists in mountain, road and all types cycling have BMX backgrounds. Names like Tinker Juarez and Robbie McEwen are just two of thousands. I was riding bikes way before it got "popular" and I thank the grown male AND female stars of the sport for helping to make it not only acceptable but stylish to ride a bike to work.
 
If you have children I highly recommend taking them to these races so they might get hooked on bicycling like so many of us are. So they can become adults that are less dependant on oil like our generation. Let them meet someone who is a star of pedals. Pedals are Positive. You can even watch on the web at www.go211.com .
 

Thanks!  Dan Brown

Check out the trail day recap HERE .

We're planning on a trail work day next Sunday December 14 on the Halo trail.  We'll force the issue, either we make it snow or we'll get our trail connections made!

this Saturday.  Washoe County Parks has had a great response so far with the newspaper articles on the upcoming trail work.  We could use a few more persons with previous trail work to help lead the volunteer effort.  Please send me an email (reply) if you could help on this. We'll let you know when we will be meeting on Saturday (a little earlier than the scheduled 10 am start time). 
 
Looking like a great day with sunny skies and temps in the 50's for some trail work,.  Don't forget to bring your bike for the ride afterwards.

The NCC (Nevada Conservation Corps) has pushed through the roughest and rockiest mile of the Halo Trail.  We'll be out again tomorrow, doing some finish work, and working on a couple of turns and crossings.  Come on out if you have some time to help, or even just drop by to see how things are coming along. We think you'll be impressed with terrain covered, the views, the trail riding experience soon to be.

It has been awhile since our last correspondence, but we have been busy crossing the t's and dotting the i's and getting the Halo Trail project up and going. 
 
The Halo Trail project is a new 6.5 mile long non-motorized trail for hikers, runners and mountain bikers that came out of the USFS Peavine Roads and Rec Strategy.  This project is being spearheaded by the Poedunks - our groups mission is to work with our local land agencies to improve and expand Peavine's trail network legally.
 
We have partnered with the USFS, Washoe County Parks, Nevada State Parks, and the Nevada Conservation Corps to help implement this new trail segment.  The NCC has started work on the trail and we now have the opportunity to supplement their effort with volunteer days. 
 
We will be working the next three Saturdays on the Halo Trail, as well as the next two Sundays on the N-Trail at Rancho San Rafael.
 
For more information on dates, times and what you need to bring, go to:
We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you out on the trail.
 
-Dale Beesmer

The Poedunks have been busy since the beginning of the year to make a new legal trail on Peavine possible.  Since then we have incorporated, received non-profit status, successfully applied for a NV State Trails grant and will be signing a Volunteer Agreement with the USFS to make it possible to do volunteer projects on the mountain.

The State Trail Grant will provide funding to hire out the construction of a new trail on Peavine scheduled to begin in mid to late October of this year.  In preparation for this we will be hiking the proposed "*Halo" trail alignment in 2 mile sections to further refine the trail layout.  If you are interested in hiking the new trail alignment and learning about trail layout and design, we will be meeting and hiking on the following Wednesday evenings.
Halo Hikes - Wednesdays @ 5:30 pm
August 13 - Section 1: meet at WEST Keystone Canyon TH (at the end of Leadership Parkway off North McCarran)
August 20 - Section 2: meet at EAST Keystone Canyon TH
August 27 - Section 3: meet at Hoge Road TH ( west on Hoge of North Virginia Street)
Be prepared for cross country hiking, suggest wearing hiking boots, long pants, bring sunscreen and water.  Meet at 5:30 pm, hiking by 5:45 pm and get back to trailhead around 8:30 pm.
*The Halo Trail came out of  the USFS 2004 Peavine Roads and Recreation Strategy, establishing a non-motorized zone around Keystone Canyon and this  6.5 mile long trail segment.  Working with the USFS, the Washoe County Parks Department also has a grant to help sign and block off the designated non-motorized zone. Although Halo Trail grant will provide funds to hire the Nevada Conservation Corps (NCC) to build the new trail,  we will looking for volunteers this fall to help with the new trail construction when necessary and to help with the boundary signage, barricades and roads reclamation.

I'm riding from Genoa to Great Basin National Park (the back way - dirt) from September 1st to 13th as a fundraiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) to help fight Cancer.  the ride is about 480 miles, crosses 12 mountain ranges, 15 valleys, and has 26,000' of vertical.  I've been wanting to do this ride since 1992, but had to raise a family. 
 
The ride is also in memory of my brother Dan who died in 2004 from Cancer after battling for 15 years.  He loved mountain biking, and is the one who got me into it.  I'll have a support vehicle with me, but will be riding alone.  If anyone would like to ride along side me on any of the sections I would welcome it.  If you visit myspace.com/nvride4life there are maps of the route.  If you would like to make a donation please visit my LAF website at (shortcut) tinyurl.com/514vc9. 
 
my email is jsuss62@... for any questions.
 
Thank you, and hope to here from you.
 
Jason Susslin
 




*** Since like a super adventure across the SIlver State.   Feel free to contact Jason and if you do not have time for the whole thing consider meeting up with him for a day or two, or on the weekends, or a donation.  Have fun Jason and please give us post ride acccount if you can.

Neil,

The trail that goes through the aspens is now signed as non motorized so no motor vehicles are allowed. This trail is not on the new travel management map so I need to find out whether it should even exist for any users. The no motor vehicles will be enforced because that area is getting torn up fairly bad by motorcycles, atvs and trucks. There has not been any signage until now on that trail so I really can’t blame motorcyclists for riding it. I have been letting motorcyclists of the closure and the reason for it and all of them have been understanding. It was just a bad place for a trail due to the amount of water in that area. I will be out there patrolling in the truck, on an atv and on a dirtbike to make sure people are not riding it. The road that parallels the single-track through the aspens seems to be the main route between Peavine and the dog valley area so it gets quite a bit of use. There is also plenty of great motorcycle single-track less than a mile from that area which we will be adding to for motorized use.

 

The other trail you are talking about is the one that goes down into Sommersett I think. The bottom part of this trail is on private property and the top part is on forest service land. I can’t remember if this trail is on the map as non motorized or if it is multi use. I will need to double check that and get back to you. If it is multi use motorized I agree that something should be done but I will have to talk to the boss and see what we can do. That trail is all off camber and will probably turn into a stream during rain or spring time runoff.

 

Andrew

Great work, Andrew. All of us who ride bikes on Peavine welcome your efforts. I hope all of the motorized users feel the same.

I don't wish this email to set off a round of bitching and moaning about biyclists vs. motorcyclists, but your signage for a couple of trails brings to mind a some of questions. My understanding of that single track through the aspens is that it was created by motorcycles. Given that fact (if it is, in fact, a fact) how do you propose to keep them off of it? In the same vein, Bull Creek Ranch trail, which existed as approximately the same route for as long as I have been riding it (10+ years) and probably considerably longer despite shared use by motorcycles and bicycles, was thoroughly abused by motorcyclists this past winter and spring; the upper third of the trail is almost unridable in sections. Are there any meetings you are aware of that are planned with motorcycle groups and other users regarding the use and rehabilitation of this formerly great trail?

Again, thanks for your work.

Neil Crowley

Some of you may have noticed the new signs or a green Forest Service truck driving around on Peavine. That is me driving around in that truck putting up signs. I also have the duty of making sure the motorized vehicles are following the rules such as staying on the correct trails and having a spark arrestor. I have met a few of you out on the trails when I am working out there. Basically I am sending out this e-mail to let everyone know what is going on with the “magically appearing signs”. Eventually the hope is to have all of the roads and trails signed and have a network of trails for both motorized and non-motorized use. Unfortunately some people like to use these signs as targets for shooting or run them over with their vehicle. Unfortunately I can not be everywhere at once so if you see any of the new signs that been destroyed or damaged just let me know. There are still some old signs that have not been replaced yet and hopefully these will be replaced soon.  

 

You may have also noticed that the single-track on the east side of Peavine is all non motorized and the single-track on the west side just east of the California border is all motorized. In between these two areas is a single-track, which parallels Forest Road 41419 (it goes west from just below the summit, commonly used to access cow canyon from the main fire road to the top of Peavine), and goes through some aspens and through Bull Ranch Creek. This single-track has been signed as non motorized and it would probably be a good idea to walk the mountain bikes through the muddy sections to minimize ruts.

 

If anyone has any concerns or comments on any of the trails on Peavine, just let me know.
