Yeah. I didn’t realize that was an alley. I used to commute through there from the old office. I would take Watt. instead of that alley. they both die out at taylor. If you take Bonnie Briar at the north end of virginia lake you can get around that kink. If you can get up to Lander St. before you get too far north it’s nice, but slow since there are a lot of stop signs.

Not that you can go to wrong there. It’s not perfect, but it isn’t exactly a problem area. Check out that Bike map link at the end of the post. It should be complete.

Overall it seems pretty decent. I can only find one marked “bike route” in Reno on it (the pedestrian bridge over I-80 behind St. Mary’s), but it does a good job with the existing data. It even knows about public alleys that aren’t even listed as public streets (there’s a 6-block-long alley in Old Southwest between Haskell and S Virginia).

There is no accounting for other peoples’ taste in fashion.

What’s wrong with stretch pants?

Comment on Face shots and wet slides by Taldor

Went out this a.m. to Fireplug again. 3 slides for 3 skiers, no one took a ride but AP set off a moderate slide by stopping hard on a wind-loaded bulge. The slope broke up and accelerated down into the trees, about 8-10″ deep and 30-40 feet across. Another was skier cut and a smaller one went a few turns into one of the north facing chutes off the top. Lots of motion out there this morning near wind loaded north-northeast trending ridges. Aside from taking extra caution, the snow was great!

Yeah. The conditions never really seem like much can happen there, but it was still kinda scary.

Last time we were out on > 1 foot of new snow out there (early Feb), we heard several loud ‘whumps’ that lasted at least two seconds. That slope averages about 32 degrees, so right at the bottom end of slideable range, but I’ve never seen something break that sustains itself.
