| Park on 40 at Donner Ski Ranch. Descent into to Donner is awesome and quick to Truckee. Snack in Old Town Truckee before 267 climb. The climb is steep and long. Alot of traffic with smooth pavement and very good shoulder. Big descent into Kings Beach. Lake road is rough to Dollar Point, then good again. Tahoe City has a very good bike lane that follows 89 back to Truckee. The road is also very good....traffic, but generous shoulder and smooth. Stop at Squaw Valley Resort to refuel before very tough climb back over Donner summit to end. |

| There are two routings for the Day 3 biking. This is the safer but longer of the two. Rather than use I-80 between Truckee and Reno, it uses an older alignment back of the Lincoln Highway. The journey continues its climb up the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, cresting at Donner Pass. At 7,088 feet, it is the highest point along Route 40 util reaching the Rocky Mountains. Afterwards, you will descend into the basins of Nevada. Most of the original alignment of Route 40 in Nevada is long gone and as a result you will need to travel on portions of I-80 in several places: west of Reno (for about 1.5 miles) and just about the entire distance between Sparks and Fernley (about 26 miles). If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies. |

| There are two routings for the Day 3 biking. This is the short but more dangerous of the two. Rather than use back roads to avoid I-80, it uses the highway itself – not a great idea. The journey continues its climb up the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, cresting at Donner Pass. At 7,088 feet, it is the highest point along Route 40 util reaching the Rocky Mountains. Afterwards, you will descend into the basins of Nevada. Most of the original alignment of Route 40 in Nevada is long gone and as a result you will need to travel on portions of I-80 in several places: between Boca and Verdi (about 14 miles), west of Reno (for about 1.5 miles) and just about the entire distance between Sparks and Fernley (about 26 miles). If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death.
