Friday
Morning: optional short drive Saturday Morning: Targa Tahoe drive gathering on the ramp. How long and how many miles should the drive on Friday morning be? My feeling is that we should do some sort of drive either around the entire lake (about 2.5 hrs with stops and traffic) or at least a drive over to Emerald Bay and back. It's a Tahoe event, so the lake shouldn't be totally ignored, right? I realize that this isn't going to be a sporty/speedy drive due to traffic. It's certainly more of a scenic tour than anything else. Here's the lake loop: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...695572&z=11 The shorter route, up the west shore and back: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...695572&z=11 These are rough routes, not from the hotel (just the city), so please don't repost them. I'll explore the longer route for Sat next. |

Randy,
I agree. We ought to show them the lake. How about a once around on Friday so they can see the vistas and shoot some passenger seat video and stills. The drive that includes Markleeville looks good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It should be pointed out to the participants in the Targa Tahoe that this route follows an annual bicycle race route called the Markleeville Death Ride. It was meant to mean that the ride is very tough and to intimidate the weak from clogging up their sag wagons. However, people have died hitting cows and deer on bicycles on these roads. These same animals would do big damage to a Porsche. |
