| Description: |
Plaza Bikes, located in the Village at Northstar, is hosting a weekly road bike ride on Saturdays at 5 p.m.
It's open to any interested person and leaves from the bike shop. The route is the same that was used during the recent Tour de Nez (down toward the entrance of the resort from the village, up Highlands View Drive past the Ritz-Carlton site, and looping back down), and it's done twice (1200 feet of climbing) before returning to the village. This ride is geared toward intermediate and advanced riders and is about 2-hours.
Upon return to the Village at Northstar, Olivier Napa Valley is hosting a post-ride special - $5 appetizer and Bavarian beer. |
