The Ride:
If you are short of time and looking for a ride that combines a bit of everything – climbing, technical single-track and swooping downhill runs in less than two hours, then Whole Package is a great choice for you. The loop launches from Sawmill Road, climbs Old Fallen Leaf Lake Road, crosses Tahoe Mountain Road onto Forest Mountain Drive to the Mule Deer Connector climb. At the top of the climb cross Angora Ridge Road and enter Angora Ridge Single Track for rock garden descent with great views of Fallen Leaf Lake, Mount Tallac, and Lake Tahoe. At the bottom, turn right on Tahoe Mountain and bare left to Deveron Way, where you will discover the Devon Connector single-track that climbs to the top of Tahoe Mountain descent, returning to Sawmill Road.
Ride Options
1. Angora Lakes. At the top of Mule Deer Connector, you can turn left on a single track and visit Angora Lakes. A great place for a swim and freshly made lemonade during the summer months.
2. Fallen Leaf Lake. At the top of Tahoe Mountain, you can turn left and ride down the backside to Fallen Leaf Lake.
