Good rides in Reno, NV

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I'm going to be in Reno for about a week and will be bringing my
bike. Can anyone tell me of some good routes for a road bike. I will
be at the Grand Sierra Resort near the airport so the route will have
to be close to that since I don't have a vehicle to transport the
bike.

Thanks much in advance.

Get a vehicle. Rent a car if you have to. You're close to some of the
most-incredible riding in the country. How much time will you have to ride?
What sort of distance can you handle? I'm sure there's a car rental place
near the airport; if it cost you $50 to ride one of the country's
most-beautiful mountain climbs (Ebett's Pass,
http://www.chainreaction.com/bearvalley.htm). Otherwise, you could always
ride over Mt Rose, or out to Virginia City. But to miss some of the classic
Sierra climbs would be a crime (assuming you don't mind climbing). You could
even go a bit further south and ride the legendary Sonora Pass
(http://www.chainreactionbicycles.com/sonora_pass.htm).
