Route Description: 

This 27- mile paved route was first established by Denis Coyne, owner of Bike Habitat. In 2023, he graciously handed this popular and beloved event to Muscle Powered, and we are excited to continue his tradition. 

Although both the start and finish will be at Shoe Tree, the route will remain relatively unchanged. For those of you who are new to the Tour of Carson, this ride takes road bikers (traditional and e-bikes permitted) on a stunning excursion around Carson City. Join other road bike enthusiasts as you traverse from north to south, east to west, on a 27-mile ride with approximately 1,223 ft. of elevation gain. 

This event is not a race and is viewed as a group ride. We encourage helmets, as you will be on roads for 90 percent of the ride. The remaining 10 percent will be on Carson's multi-use paths. 

The course will be marked with a series of directional yellow dots. 

One dot= Continue Forward

Two dots=Turn Right

Three dots=Turn Left

All riders are encouraged to wear a helmet, wear bright neon clothing and have bike lights on both the front and back of your bike. 

This is a self-supported ride. Any rider who gets a flat or has issues with their bikes will be responsible for getting back to the starting point. Other riders may have basic tools if needed.
