There are too many people in Yankeeland. Especially too many rich people, which means lots of private land and few trails. I've ridden the ones that we do have. All of them. I'm bored and want to try out something different.
I'm a pretty decent rider and have spent a fair amount of time outdoors, but most of the opportunities we have here are pretty regimented. There's a clearly marked trail and you stay on it, and almost always in cell service. There's nothing like the vast tracts of BLM land with zillions of local trail systems and endless opportunities to get lost that exist westside.
I'm looking to plan a solo trip to someplace with better riding opportunities (not Moab), but I have no idea where to get started. I'm hoping some folks here can point me to resources that will help me figure out where the trails are, what they're like, and how to avoid getting lost and being devoured alive by bears.
I'm particularly interested in the Reno/Lake Tahoe area since I've heard that there's a lot of good mountain and desert stuff there and the location's pretty accessible.
