Our CLASSIC Sunday morning ride begins a leisurally paced start at 7:30am with everybody slightly angry at the organizor for being late as usual. Promise of smooth sailing begins on Teneya at a 12 mile an hour pace then a gentle rise begins and tests those legs going up towards frontage. 6 miles in finds us at 95 and the Mount Charleston turn off. Beginers decide Starbucks sound good at this point and turn around for a healthy 12 mile round trip and a hot beverage as a reward. The rest of us form a paceline on 95 taking one minute turns into the usual headwind until we reach that spot which marks our sprint for bragging rights at Piaute overpass. Then Woo Hoo! down FAAASssst down to the golf coarse. What goes down must come up and we huff our way back up the way we came,..a little break and then a very fast pace to Frontage and on to Southwest Bikes where Starbucks welcomes us with seductive hot breath of coffee aromas, 24 miles for us today!
Some hearty souls went on to Lee Canyon Turnoff turning this ride into a 44 miler.

Hey all,
Am helping the local American Diabetes Association lead a Beginner ride. The training ride that I am doing this Saturday is part of a long ride that Lisa (one of our other Asst Org) is leading which is about 35 miles from Land Rover Las Vegas. The short ride I am leading is also from Land Rover, but will only be 5 to 7 miles in the neighborhood near Land Rover. The short ride leaves at 9:30 AM and the long ride leaves at 8 AM. Everyone comes back to Land Rover where they will be BBQing a free lunch.
This is not an RSVP ride, just mainly for your information, but you can if you want. We're hoping any of you members can join us not just for this training event, but for the main event on April 10, 2010.
Tour de Cure 2010

Lets go cycling up at Red Rock on Friday morning.

Meet at the Dunkin Donuts on Charleston, west of the 215 at 7am. We will head west to Blue Diamond and back.

This is an intermediate level ride; almost 30 miles, with some big climbs and fast descents.

The weather is going to be great so bring your bike, water and helmet (no exceptions) for the ride.

For any questions, please email me

Hey Cyclists,
I keep forgeting to post....sorry!! Let's attempt another easy ride for this Saturday. I'll try to keep going for a couple more weeks until it gets too cold. Hopefully some nice rides for a couple more months.

If anyone is interested, after the bike ride, a couple of us are going to the NSPCA Family, Fur & Fun Festival. Festival Info]FESTIVAL LINK It's right across Charleston at Summerlin Centre Community Park. So if you want to join us, bring comfy shorts to go over the bike shorts and comfy shoes.

So if you're a BEGINNER (or can push yourself a bit more). and haven't met us, it's a great opportunity to meet similar level cyclists. I do these level of rides now, due to health reasons. If you want more and it works with my schedule, I will continue posting.

Difficulty status: This is a BEGINNER to a bit more. Very little hills, if any. Distance is approximately 15-20 miles. Our speed averages 12 MPH. This will be on regular roads, with very limited or no bike paths, but, with light traffic. ROAD RULES MUST BE ADHERED TO! Anyone with road bikes or hybrids will do just fine, but those with mountain will have to pedal a little harder. As always....NO ONE gets left behind. We stay with the slowest person....probably me for now.

I've allowed "Maybe" RSVPs, but remember to confirm and update the day before the event. It's going to be a beautiful day, it's cooling down a bit....so let's ride!!
