Mountain biking the Tahoe Rim Trail from Van Sickle to Star Lake

This is one of my favorite epic mountain bike rides. Hours of suffering at high elevation with some of the best scenery in the world. This is why we ride.
The route on Strava: / strava
I started the ride at Over the Edge Sports in South Lake tahoe, climbed up Van Sickle trail, hit the Tahoe Rim Trail all the way to Star Lake. From there I descended the Star Lake Trail and then hit Cold Creek and Powerline to finish the big loop.

best place I have been on a bike. nothing like when fine dust turns to the best of dirt in a thunderstorm and you and your buddies know you have a 30minute dh ahead. truly one of the best things I've ever experienced.

Flume trails are melted out, a lot of the south shore trails are as well. Dirt is awesome right now. All high elevation will be another three to four weeks, or more depending on exposure. Shout at me next time you're here if you need a local guide for the north shore stuff.

I am a Local in South Lake Tahoe. It is fun to see people posting our trails on youtube. I hate going up Van Sickle. My favorite med ride is ArmStrong to star lake and down ColdCreek. I have started on the TRT at Heavenly and Ended at the bottom of Mr. toads. That is a long tough ride and the ends is not easy.

I did it! Today! But took the shuttle from Over the Edge to Heavenly resort Area. Took a picture of your sticker in the shuttle behind the driver. I have been wanting to ride this since you posted the video and finally did it. Definitely the toughest climb I have have done. But once I I got to Star lake the joy of the downhill was enormous. So fun! The switch backs got me. I walked the rocky part of Cold Creek. But the ride was amazing. Loved your vid. Which made me do this ride. Next on my bucket list is Hole in the Ground. Thanks Brian. I have been a sub since the beginning and love it. Keep riding the best trails in the world. I will be there watching and growing my bucket list.

I climbed up to Star Lake via Cold Creek (which definitely sucked going up lol) but really wanted to do the Armstrong descent to Corral. A lot of hike-a-bike for me on the climb with my Ritchey Timberwolf but the descent was one of the best I've ridden! Definitely recommend checking out Armstrong from Freel Pass next time you're up there! I think it comes out to 23-24 miles or so. The flow track on lower Corral has perfect rhythm (thanks to TAMBA) Hope to see you out there sometime. Keep it up!

This is an epic downhill shuttle ride that covers about every type of biking terrain you could imagine in one ride. Another trail i Love is Marys Loop of horse thieves cnyn in Luma, Co Just outside of Fruita. Wasatch crest trail in park city/Salt lake City utah is another local go to. Keep posted rad trails!

That was a classic based on Seth hacks. I never will have my own channel but I am just trying to grasp the dynamic of what works and how some of these channels just take off. Some can make a pretty good coin on it. I heard a figure of around 8 cents per 1000 views when it is signed up for advertising. Anyways I am off topic. Hope yours explodes. I love seeing the bikes and trails. You just have to start risking your life or take a fall down one of those cliffs. LOL

I think it would be a pretty great trip to make though, we have jet skis so if I could haul the skis and bikes out there we could have some fun for a while. I'd just have to really talk my wife into the jet skiing part, she's pretty freaked out about how deep that lake is lol! I live in south Texas so it would be a bitch of a drive too.

Thanks Michael! The gimbal has held up really well. Batteries last about 2.5 hours and it comes with an extra set. Judging by all the bad Amazon reviews I thought it would have broken by now and that I would have to buy a new one about every 4 months. I have ridden it hard and often. I have not crashed into anything or really hurt it, though. It's open to all the elements and it's doing fine. I'm hoping to do a more long term review here soon now that I feel comfortable "endorsing" it.

Riding up Van Sickle and down Star Lake is awesome, but many people said they prefer riding up Star Lake trail and down Van Sickle. Talk to the guys at Over the Edge South Lake Tahoe and they can get you setup with a shuttle and a rental bike if you need it. Not enough time to go all into it!

Can you do this trail with a fully charged Specialized Turbo Levo?

Dang, I've only ridden an e-bike once and I don't think any kind of calculations I do off the top of my head would really translate. Sorry dude!

+Brad Lu Thanks man! I brought 3 liters and ran out once I hit Powerline. I think the wind was a blessing (kept me cool) and a curse (made the sound shittier) that day.

oh, i was wondering if you could test out YT Capra carbon?
@bkxc

The Capra is definitely high on my list. YT is in Reno (about 3 hours away) so I can pick a bike up from them and test it out.

Should be the Intense Tracer but the memory is not 100% clear. Pretty sure I talk about it in the video.

Intense 275C vs the Hightower, what are your thoughts?
@bkxc
@bkxc 8 жыл бұрын
+SNS1212 Really enjoyed the hightower, but like I said in my video it's riding on "easy mode" where the trail gets flattened out and you don't feel as much. I like to feel it. But I still loved the hightower! Tracer wins for my taste.

Thanks for introducing trailforks, didnt know it before but now that i do i love it! I used to use singletracks.com and they just didnt provide enough information, yet provided much innacurate info. Not that i hate singletracks.com, the community/blog stuff is great, just not for finding trails :/
