News
Our Winter 2026 issue of the CVTA Trail Connections newsletter is now available!
Some of the CVTA Board Members describe their reasons for volunteering.
After multiple terms as CVTA president, Neal Falk is passing the torch to Erica Roselius. Many of you have probably met Erica at the events she has organized, including our recent Run the Valley 5K which enjoyed great success with over 60 participants.
In Erica’s words, “I joined the board several years ago because I love our valley’s trails and CVTA’s mission to connect our communities to the outdoors through those trails. As CVTA president, I am excited to continue to build on our mission by creating more events and opportunities for our region’s residents to experience our many trail systems and connect with each other.”
As a fitness trainer, endurance athlete and outdoor enthusiast, Erica brings a uniquely relevant perspective to our organization’s leadership. Plus, we still have Neal’s guidance as a director at large on our board.

We are genuinely grateful to have Win’s Wheelsheels as a 2026 Spoker Ride sponsor! 🃏![]()

Win's Wheels is Carson Valley's only dedicated Bicycle Service Center, located in Indian Hills. Rather than selling bicycles, Win and his team focus exclusively on what they do best: expert service on most makes and models, along with parts, accessories, and maintenance supplies. Win and his wife are avid cyclists themselves, deeply embedded in the Carson City riding community, and have been consistent, passionate supporters of CVTA and our mission for years. ![]()
