What's happening in Carson City on Sunday, Dec. 30
Sunday offers a brief reprieve from the chill of winter with a forecast high of around 50 degrees before the next bout of cold air hits the region on New Year's Eve.
Consider a day of outdoor recreation to cap off your weekend by using Carson City's system of scenic walking, hiking or biking trails, including the Blue Line Trail through the downtown historic district.
We've begun compiling an events listing for New Year's Eve parties around the area and are adding new venues as we receive information. Go here for what we've been able to compile thus far. Check back for updates.

Here is what's happening Sunday, Dec. 30:
— Muscle Powered Weekly Bike Ride at 9 a.m. Meet at Fremont Elementary School, 1511 Firebox Road in Carson City, in the south parking lot next to the Linear Ditch Trail.
Ride will normally consist of two loops which are 10-15 miles long each. The ride pace will vary depending on rider level, but will usually be about a 12-16 mph pace. This is a "no drop" ride so no one is left behind.
All riders must have a bicycle in safe working condition, a helmet, and closed toed shoes.
