Dave scouted this ride the previous weekend, and declared a club ride for the 21st.  The word was out, the weather was perfect, and only Tim showed-up to join him.

We left Reno from the Chevron station at Virginia and Longley, following Virginia Street out past the latest upscale malls and onto old Highway 395 through Washoe Valley.  We took backroads through Carson City and then Jacks Valley Road out to Genoa.  Foothill Road got us close to Woodfords and then it was off on Highway 88 through the canyon, over Luther Pass to Tahoe, and around Southshore for a lunch stop at Mandarin Garden for some excellent soup.  With the exception of Tahoe, where the leaves had already turned color and dropped, the trees were fantastic!  A ride to repeat next year for sure.
