    Wow what an incredible ride. Great SAG support & the course was well marked (thank goodness since I got dropped & had to ride in the headwinds by myself). Asia you did an outstanding job & thanks to your mother & daughter for the yummy food :)

    Excellent event! The SAG, the route markings and the rest stops were fantastic. Everyone did a great job. The wind did its best to knock me down on the way back along 95, but I made it and arrived to great food and smoothies. Thanks Asia and everyone else. I really enjoyed the day and look forward to more of your events.

    Thanks for another great ride Asia. You always go above and beyond and that's what always keeps us coming back for more. The ride was very challenging and well, the wind what can I say it was brutal. Oh, I love my Black Bottom Jersey very cute!!!

    Thanks again for the great support. Have to say that the wind was very brutal on the way back. Thanks for everyone that volunteered to make this such a great event.

    A f bombing mazing event. Lots of really nice people, highly organized, Great SAG TEAM! Ham Operators were very professional and added to a sense of confidence that if you bit it, you were going to get help quickly and with that cross wind, there was a lot of opportunity to bite it. Great post ride party. Thank you for the new jersey, and helmet. Since Christy was so nice to me, I paid it forward by re gifting my light with an awesome lady, Mandy. Thank you Asia and to your Mom and Sister

    It's great to see such great support for these rides. I thought I would never see such a growing cycling community in Vegas.

      “ Brutal headwinds! ”
    • “ Once again ASIA you went the extra mile and deserve a huge round of applause. Additionally, your mother, daughter and husband along with many others who helped make this ride and day secod to none! Thanks again from deep within my heart. Just one little request, maybe a little less wind next time? LOL Pinky aka Karen ”
    • Christy (+1 guest)
      “ Another wonderfully organized ride. The support was fantastic and the route was well-marked. Thanks Asia, family and support team for a great day! ”
    • “ The meetup was very good. The wind made things very difficult, but the support at the rest stops was great. ”
    • “ Well organized event! Supportive bike community! (Thanks to the folks who encouraged me on through that windy spot - ie the whole 2nd half!) Great SAG. Challenging ride, but very rewarding. :-) ”
    • “ The people in this group are so nice, comfortable to ride with. Other than those headwinds, the ride was good, not too sure about the 95. The cookout was great, enjoyed everything. The only thing I was confused about was the start. Was not sure about whether we were supposed to start out the ride together, people just left randomly, which worked out fine. ”
    • “ Temperatures were great. Ride was well supported. Mountain was as hard as ever. The wind could have been more cooperative. Post ride meal hit the spot. Free smoothies were wonderful. Asia and crew did a wonderful job! I even won a few things on the raffle. Hope Team Rwanda gets a lift from the stuff that was donated, as well as, the money. ”
    • “ If it wasn't for the wind the entire time on the way back, it would have been great! Otherwise the snacks at the reststop and bbq were delicious. Asia, thanks again for organizing the ride. The wind wasn't your fault! :) The ride was for a good cause. Go Team Rwanda! I prefer not riding along the highway. ”
    • Lee (+1 guest)
      “ Oooh the pain. Other than that, it was well-organized and greatly supported. SAG was awesome. Rest Stops were fully loaded with people, treats, and refills on drinks. Everyone that volunteered was wonderful! ”
    • “ This was one STELLAR event and ride. What an incredible turnout too. I was impressed with the organization, SAG support and route mapping. Hats off to Asia for such an incredible job. I am so proud to be part of the Las Vegas cycling Meet up group and community. It has added so much to my life. ”
    • “ I am brand new to group riding and I found the folks on the ride to be extremly friendly and helpful. Asia and crew did a fantastic job organizing this event. Killer headwind on the way back but I feel great! ”
