The Mustang-McCarran route of the Tahoe Pyramid Bikeway, part of the Nature Conservancy’s McCarran Ranch river restoration project, will be open to the public on May 5. The trail stretches nine miles from Mustang to the USA Parkway. A celebratory ride will be held at 10:45 a.m., and participants will meet at 10 a.m. on Mustang Road. According to the Tahoe Pyramid Bikeway’s website, “This is an easy, level, dirt ride three miles each way.” Cyclists can continue on the USA Parkway for six additional miles.
The passage was intended to open in December (“Trail blazers,” Dec. 8) but was delayed due to planning and land logistics. More sections of the trail are scheduled to be open late this summer. View the map at http://www.tpbikeway.org/.
