The Tahoe Twirl is a 190 mile bikepacking route that circles Lake Tahoe and traces the rugged Sierra Mountain Range in California and Nevada.
This trip was rated 8/10 in difficulty by bikepacking.com - naturally I wanted to see if I had what it took to conquer the endless amount of climbing and technical single track this trail had to offer....

Took me 5 hours to get from Marlette Lake to South Lake when it should have taken 3 - suffering horribly and I couldn't do the remainder of the ride. My two buddies made it to Star Lake both told me it was horrible hike a bike LOL.

If you were to do it again, would you rather hike or bikepack it in hindsight? My reservation about bikepacking is that when I ride MTB I am more focused on riding rather than my surroundings, and I want to soak up the entire TRT
@ChadLubinski
@ChadLubinski 2 жыл бұрын
That’s a really good point. You definitely have to be more focused on mtb. If you want to soak it up, I’ll would recommend hiking it for sure. There’s a lot of technical areas of descent where you have to be keyed in and a ton of hike a bike where you just hate your surroundings lol

Great video & vibe as always. Chad, I’m curious how you managed the logistics. Did you fly with your bike to Tahoe or rented a bike in Reno? I’m planning to do this adventure and rent a bike.
@ChadLubinski
@ChadLubinski 6 ай бұрын
Hey thanks so much man! I actually just drove to Reno with the bike on top of my car because I lived in Oregon at the time. But if I had to fly, I would fly into Reno. I think that would be the easiest logistically. You're gonna have a great time!

Did you ever figure out what the first campground in your video was? With the bear boxes. Was it north campground?
@ChadLubinski
@ChadLubinski 2 ай бұрын
that may be it, yes! It was just a few miles uphill and outside of a lake and a highway where you would then get on the TRT.

@@ChadLubinski I thought you might of found a gas canister going through a town but looks like uncooked ramen noodles at 10:41 Lol. I picked up a Toaks Ti pot with a bail handle so I can always boil over a little fire, but fire bans are common enough in summer.

I did the flume trail years ago when all the steel bars were sticking out of the ground in one section. I thought I would end up with my son impaled like a fish on one of them. 😮😮😮
