Kim: I did the Tahoe Rim 50 last July. The very (small) first part of the ride
follows the very beginning of the Tevis....but probably not for more than 5-6?
miles. Then the trail follows the Tahoe Rim Trail heading east....the BEST
views are here!  What I was disappointed about was the 6+ miles of hard gravel
road (so much single track available....why the road?) and the mile+ of
pavement.  But I'm a Tahoe/Nevada kind of rider and never ride on roads if I
can help it.....I'd rather go off cross-country! I enjoyed the part through the
Northstar ski resort....straight up a black diamond (expert) run.....yahoo! But
other than the hard road parts.....it's an excellent trail....great
camping...(Robie Equestrian Park)...and the management was wonderful.  Have a
great time!
