Cycling Event

Carson City local, Shane Trotter, has done it again: Trotter won the 24 Hour World Time Trial Championships for his age group in 2019, and he wanted to go back in 2020, but the event was cancelled due to Covid.

Trotter has been heavily training for these and other Ultra Cycling events for the past 4 years. He and his wife Nikki Trotter own a local Spin Studio, Life Cycle Spin and Yoga. Trotter does a lot of his training while teaching classes at the spin studio.

CARSON CITY — In order to deliver on the objective of giving mountain bikers a true backcountry experience on world-class singletrack that challenges riders as much as it inspires and rewards, and allowing for extra snowmelt time in a potentially record-setting Sierra Nevada winter, Epic Rides announced a date change of the Carson City Off-Road from June 14-16 to June 28-30.

This weekend Carson City will host the third annual Epic Rides, an annual cycling event that brings riders from across the country and around the world. Being as this is a large event with money involve, not only from vendors, sponsors, businesses and riders alike, there is always an influx of expensive bicycles and associated gear.

Local bicyclists led off the 2017 Epic Rides Carson City Off-Road mountain bike racing series with the Klunker Criterium Friday evening in downtown Carson City.

The Journey of Hope team will be arriving in Carson City on Friday June 16th for a visit with the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada and The Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities.

This overnight stop comes after a 35-mile ride from Lake Tahoe, Calif., the sixth day of a 3,720-mile cycling event across the country. The team will dedicate their summer to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities through grant funding and community engagement.

On July 29, Nicholas Basalyga, co-founder of the non-profit In The Saddle, will get on his bike in San Francisco, CA. Two months later, he will arrive in Philadelphia. He is biking across the country to generate support for In The Saddle and raise awareness about the epidemic of addiction that America is currently facing.
