Save the Date for the  Annual DPMR Pub to Pub Run!

October 22nd is the date you'll want to keep available to join this classic end-of-season run. We're still working on the route, but as always it will feature a 50K designed by Chris Cloyd with a couple options for shorter runs as well. We're excited to mention that there will be a special Alibi beer involved in this year's event too. This is not one to miss!

 

August Cleanup Date with Keep Tahoe Blue

We've all been disheartened with the reports of unprecedented amounts of trash left in the Tahoe Basin this summer. Please join us on August 20th for our annual summer clean up in partnership with Keep Tahoe Blue. We'll again be maintaining the TRT trail at Brockway summit. Come help keep the trails we love and use litter-free!

Race Report

DPMR member Jack Macy went over to Spain in early July to take on an "epic" mountain race in the Pyrenees. With nearly 15,000' of climbing he loved every second of it, even when eating flies and dodging cow patties.

The Secret Race

The Secret Race is a definitive look at the world of professional cycling—and the doping issue surrounding this sport and its most iconic rider, Lance Armstrong—by former Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton and New York Times best-selling author Daniel Coyle.
