This will be my first ride in almost 7 weeks because of my stupid ankle injury so I will be taking up the rear at a slow pace,...anyone want to join me?

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.

Meet me in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot. I'll be parked near the gas station. Mileage is approximately 15 miles. I would call this a beginners ride with hills. Less then 3 RSVP's will cancel. Please check your email for cancellation before leaving. I will post at 9 am. The weather should be perfect for a bike ride. Don't forget helmet and water.

Hey Cyclists,
Ok guys, am going to try out a whole new route and area that I have only ridden on a limited basis. I am organizing a ride in this location for those living in the NORTH EAST of Las Vegas. NOTE: IF I HAVE LESS THAN 4 CYCLISTS FOR THIS BY FRIDAY, I WILL CHANGE LOCATION TO ALIANTE.

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. If you want more beginner level rides and it works with my schedule, I will continue posting. Hopefully some nice rides for a couple more months.

Difficulty status: This is a BEGINNER to a bit more. Intermediates may be bored. Don't like hills, so plan to avoid them. Distance is more or less 18 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.

NOTE: It's getting a little cooler, so bring a light jacket that you can take off without restricting your ride.

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!!

See LINK OF ROUTE: Same as before, but we start from Aliante. We might still get lost, but will wing it!!
