I'm planning to meet some relatives in Reno on Oct 8th and staying a couple of days. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on a route to take or avoid and if there will be a high possibility of snow in the passes. I plan on taking a couple of days to ride down. Any help would be appreciated. I'm mainly concerned about encountering snow or ice.
Pretty much what Firetronix said. There's actually a possibility of snow above
7000' this weekend. Bring warm clothes. It shouldn't be cold in Reno but
definitely will be cold at higher elevations in the am and pm up high.
Generally a perfect time to ride in surrounding areas, tree colors and not too
crowded.
Thanks for the comments! Makes me feel a lot better about the ride. I am actually now thinking of taking a route my dad used to it was his "fast" way to Reno and it would be kind of a cool memory for me to redo that trip in memory. He used to go I-5 south then take a turnoff around Eugene I believe and to Kalamath falls then to Alturas and then Susanville then to Reno I think.

I think I will try a different route back and try to hit the Eagle lake way...I'll have to do some research and see what my riding buddy thinks. I'd rather not go back the same way.
Great ride on 58,then another good side bar route/shortcut is to turn off 97 at Chiloquin and follow the Sprage River down to hiway 140 just West of Lakeview and cut over to 395 South.
