Riding Las Vegas

In Las Vegas, It's all about timing . . . 
(see what I mean . . .)
damn that gravel road looks tempting
but . . . on my skinny tire rental bike, probably not a good idea
Ellie . . . stopped along the side of the road "updating her Facebook page"
"Are you here for the bike demo?" she queries . . .
"What bike demo" my reply as five guys go blowing by . . .
Of course I can't pass that up, and I tag along to 
the bike demo, sponsored by Trek, Cannondale and Mcghie's Cycle
(the shop who loaned me Syndi for the week)
I hooked up with Dave McNeal, a pro cross rider from Alabama 
and rode an easy hour or so before turning around and riding into
(given the red rocks, it is rather cleverly named)
ok . . . so Syndi and I couldn't resist temptation on the ride back
until we came upon this sign
Now: being a rider of some intelligence, when I notice the 
no shooting sign, and the large number of shotgun shells
I figure discretion is the better part of valor and head back
to our booth at ConExpo
A great two weeks of working and riding when I could in Vegas
Thanks again to: McGhies Ski Bike and Board!

  1. I'm very jealous. I could use a change of scenery. I guess I'll just have to wait until the snow melts, or maybe just ride further from the house.
