Pete and I have been cooking things up in the Sierra since long before the global pandemic, back when Pete was still racing stages of the Tour de France. The original event was on tarmac, and finished with a summit of Mount Rose. But then Pete answered a call, and we somehow ended up in the mountainous desert of Nevada like Bill and Ted.

Today, Stetina's Paydirt explores the country's most mountainous state. Heading into 2026 we've got new changes to our route through the Pine Nuts, and a 4th segment to add to the fun.

We'll have a lot more to say about all of this soon, but for now all you need to do is get signed up, and make your plan to visit Carson City, Nevada on the weekend of May 16th, 2026.
