Biking

Carson City, Nevada grants visitors access to many scenic trails within its city limits. Hikers and bikers enjoy year-round access to the Carson River, three back-country lakes, multiple mountain peaks, and unparalleled views in every direction. Now, with a new digital pass, there is even more incentive to explore the outdoors.

Glen Lucky was born on Sept. 27, 1952, down in Coronado, Calif.

But Glen did live to see 15. He started riding a bike at 15, and 16 and 17. Glen turns 68 on Sunday.
