I've been taking most of the pictures at lunch time lately, but unfortunately it's not the best time of the day for capturing good colors. I took this first picture on my way to work, about 1 minute from my house. The peak on the left is Job's Peak, and on the right is Job's Sister. These two prominent peaks are the defining landmarks of the Carson Valley. One of the local casinos even had a billboard sign that read, "Build This, Las Vegas!" featuring the two peaks in the picture.
The snow was still hanging around today, so we did a climb on the road up Combs Canyon into Lakeview. We pretty much rode until we could go no higher and then made our way back to work. The first couple of miles were screaming fast...no pedaling needed! Next up...Carson Valley Road Ride on Sunday!!!

Don't tempt Vegas to build anything. Those SOBs will take a crack at everything.
You are lucky to have such a great view from your house. Living in Texas, I can see far hills, but I would love to have a big white mountain to stare at every morning.
As always, nice photos.
I loved that billboard! Vegas shouldn't even be considered Nevada. There is no place like Northern Nevada. I've lived here all my life and never had any desire to leave. Vegas can try to replicate the rest of the world but it will never be able to replicate my Sierras...
