NV Derby Ride Location Change for 2019

Announcement: The Nevada Derby Ride will be moving to the Red Rock base camp for 2019.

Because of the still-snowy and muddy trails in Washoe Valley, NASTR will be moving the Nevada Derby Ride on April 6, 2019 to the base camp used for Rides of March and Red Rock Rumble. Those trails have fared much better this winter and we want to ensure the best event possible for our riders. Trails will be “similar but different” from Rides of March.

The Taco Truck will be there from 11am - 7pm, one meal ticket included with your ride entry, very good prices for any additional food.

Please share and help spread the word!
