What the Three Days Feel Like

Pick a start date and pickup time, collect a well‑spec’d KHS Tempe from Bike Truckee, slip on the provided helmet, study the paved‑trail map and head out: the bike’s 29" wheels and light hardtail chassis make linking paved connectors and mountain singletrack straightforward, while the air front shock soaks chatter and hydraulic brakes let you descend with assurance. Return the bike to the shop before closing at the end of your final day.
