We have postponed this BBQ and ride, hoping to catch the fall Aspen colors on a mountain bike ride above Hope Valley on the same weekend.
Please check PNMTA calendar for ride info.
Come join the PNMTA for our fall barbecue and ride! We will be meeting in the morning on Sunday at Nate’s house. Riders will organize according to skills and vehicle type. We welcome all level riders and there will be bikes, quads, 4×4’s, and mt bikes. Nate will be tending the barbecue and we will all hang out after the ride.
Everybody should be ready to roll at 9:30. [Daylight is getting short]
Come on out!

The second annual Pine Nut Mountains Trail Association Family Fun Ride and BBQ is happening, Sunday June 21st, 2015.
We will be meeting at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Gardnerville, just off of Pine Nut 2 Rd. There is a large parking area on the right side just before entering the fairgrounds. We’ll meet there at 9:00 am and break into ride groups. Different groups for different riding levels and different rides ( 2 wheels, 4 wheels, hoofs ?). Everyone is invited, even if you can only drive out to the BBQ.
The plan is for all to meet at Sheep Camp at 12noon for the killer BBQ that Nate L will be hosting. Burgers, gourmet dogs and grilled Portabello’s for those who don’t do the beef thing, will be the featured fair, with snacks and drinks (lite adult and nonadult). If you have any other preferred bbqables contact Nate prior to Sunday.
There will be a film crew from the Carson Valley Visitors Authority there capturing the good times we’re having. They are promoting “Rugged, Relaxed, Reachable” as a theme for our area. So make sure that helmet hair is looking good!
For those not familiar with the location of Sheep Camp, we will have some simple maps of the area to hand out in the morning at the fairgounds.
See you at the Fairgrounds. Or at least at Sheep Camp at noon.

Hey all you trail riders,
A couple of months ago while discussing things to do this summer a trail ride in the Sweetwaters, up to Mt. Patterson, aka Marz, was brought up. I forgot to post it, but recently found the date in some old meeting notes. Thank Ed B. for reminding me about it.
Sunday July 19, 2015.
The riding consists of fun roads and trails. Mostly rocky. Some a little, some very rocky, with challenging sections. Watch for cows on the lower roads.
The views are the absolute best around. The top of Mt. Patterson is 11,600 ft high.
Take Hwy 395 south past Topaz. Drive 5.4 miles past the Ca. Ag. inspection station and turn left on Topaz Lane. Go 3.5 miles to the end of Topaz Ln. and turn left. On the dirt road 0.2 miles turn right up on to a flat staging/shooting area. Someone please bring a garbage bag to pick up spent shells left by stupid people.
***NOTE***
This is not the place to ride if there is a chance of thunder storms and lightning. The vast majority of the riding is open and exposed.
Meet at 9:00AM at the staging/shooting area.
This is Toiyabe National Forest in California, so an OHV sticker (NV or CA) is required.
