Reno action

As I sit here in the comfort of my beautiful home working on real estate tasks on a Friday afternoon my mind is wandering to the weekend.  There are a lot of great activities going on and I'm trying to decide what I can squeeze into my schedule.  The two non-negotiable items are training runs today and tomorrow.  I let my schedule get a bit out of control when my friends and family were here and need to log some miles.  The other items on my wish list include:

A trip to South Meadows to visit a really great little wine shop there called Vino100.  I discovered it nearly a year ago while showing houses in that area.  My clients and I stopped for lunch nearby and stumbled upon this darling shop.  My husband and I bought a beautiful bottle of Pinot Noir there last week that we have yet to try.  It is almost too pretty to open!  Karen, the owner, is knowledgeable and friendly and the shop offers a wide selection of wines and prices as well as a cool assortment of gifts and accessories.


On that same showing adventure I spotted High Sierra Cycling.  It is in the same shopping complex on Steamboat Parkway as Vino100.  What caught my eye is that they are authorized dealers for both Giant and Kona bikes.  Which are the bikes my husband and I ride.  Again we encountered friendly and knowledgeable staff.  Eric, the owner at HSC, clearly loves what he does.  His enthusiasm and expertise shined during his visit with us and with other customers in the shop that day.

This is also Food Truck Friday at the Citicenter! We love Gourmelt and have wanted to check out the other food trucks.

We've been wanting to get out to the disc golf course at Rancho San Rafael park.  It is a great course and is FREE entertainment for all ages and abilities.  We haven't been for a couple of months and the cooler temps today might be a perfect opportunity.  It's also good exercise and offers beautiful views of Reno.


We've got Reno Aces playoff games tonight and tomorrow!  With any luck (and plenty of skill!) it won't go beyond that!

And, perhaps the most exciting, this is the weekend for The Great Reno Balloon Race!  I've seen many beautiful pictures and posters of this majestic event but would really like to get out and see it firsthand.  I'll be sure to post my own pics if we are able to attend!

Are you starting to see why we love Reno so much?!

  1. Yes, Reno is a pretty cool place. I like it's variety of things to do, but it is not such a big city that you feel overwhelmed. Traffic kind sucks sometimes (but that's from my very small town perspective) :-)
