Greg biked to Tahoe via overnight stops in Yuba City on the first day (130 miles) and Downieville on the second (70 miles).  The third day was Downieville to Truckee (60 miles).  Given the climbing involved on the second and third days, the leg to Yuba City might have been the easiest despite the distance.  We all met up at a rented cabin in Truckee for a few days.
