Celebrate Tahoe Bike Month and Pride Month!

On Thursday, June 1, 5 - 7:30pm, the League, Lake Tahoe Pride, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Clean Tahoe, and Tahoe Bike Coalition are hosting a Bike Path Cleanup on the south shore. Choose one of four different zones to beautify, then meet up for fun, food, and happy hour drinks.

In honor of Pride Month, members of the queer/trans community and allies are invited to choose the bike path from Lakeview Commons to Ski Run. This stretch of the bike path got a fresh rainbow paint job for June – celebrate it and keep it clean!

"As a board member of the League, I appreciate what this organization does, not only for our unique environment, but also for the people who live around and come to visit the Lake.

The League has taken a leadership role in emphasizing diversity and inclusion in everything we do. My husband Tom, our dog Leela, and I are passionate about the Lake. Hope to see you out there!"
