The Carson Valley Adventure Ride Series is based on five epic mixed terrain loops that surround Carson Valley: The Brunswick, The Leviathan, The Slinkard, The Tahoe Ridge, and The Powerline.

Each year’s ride series features a subset of these loops. The loops range in distance from 48 to 77 miles but what they lack in distance they make up for with climbing. Each loop also has one or two shorter options to choose from. You can register to ride just one event in the series or all of them. You can opt to ride in a competitive category and be eligible to podium for an individual event or for the whole series. Or you can opt to ride in a recreational category just to enjoy a great riding adventure.  All routes feature fully stocked rest stops and a post-ride meal. All participants receive maps and can access a GPX file of their course.
