Upcoming: 2013 TA-Hoe Nalu Paddle Festival...

Bicyclists tend to be outdoorsy folk, or at least they invest a considerable amount of time out and about in the elements. Many also like to partake of other, complimentary, outdoorsy activities. If you want a recommendation for those dog days of August, might I suggest the TA-Hoe Nalu Paddle Festival at Lake Tahoe. SUP, or Stand Up Paddle, grows more popular each year, and once you try it, you will understand why. Just beware it doesn't take time away from your riding - it has been known to take over the free hours of those unaware of its Siren song. Oh, and don't forget to bring your bike with you too; some of the best road and trail riding is to be found up at the Lake of the Sky.
