Park to Pedal Returns to Kershaw-Ryan

Nevada State Parks announced last week that the Park to Park Pedal Extreme will return to Kershaw-Ryan State Park on Saturday, Oct. 7. The popular ride is now open for registration.

Cyclists will enjoy miles of scenic beauty as they ride along Nevada’s first Scenic Byway, Highway 93, and peddle past the 1920s mission-style depot in the railroad town of Caliente and through the historic mining town of Pioche.

The tour winds through four of Nevada’s beautiful State Parks including Kershaw-Ryan, Cathedral Gorge, Spring Valley, and Echo Canyon, and includes breathtaking views of Meadow Valley. The tour is capped off with a hearty Dutch oven feast at Kershaw-Ryan State Park.

The Park to Park Pedal event features three rides to choose from.
The 100 Mile Extreme is the most challenging with approximately 5,600 ft of climbing. It will have participants pedaling through four state parks, two old west towns, and up Pioche Hill.

The 60 Mile Double Jack is a more moderate challenge. This ride includes Pioche Hill, which is approximately 1400 ft of climb in about 10 miles. It also features two state parks and two old west towns along the way.

The 40 Mile Helix is a shorter ride without extreme hill climbs. This ride goes from Kershaw-Ryan to Cathedral Gorge State Park in Panaca. It rides through two state parks and the old railroad town of Caliente.

Registration is available now online at https://parktoparkpedal.com. Packet pick-up is Friday night between 4 and 6 p.m. at Kershaw-Ryan.
