Road Ride Report 122 miles around Las Vegas...

I think he got caught doping. :lol:

 

must be, because there's a guy with 3hrs+.

If you came through the halfway point, they asked you if you were done so that person probably called it quits.

edit: yup, Mark and Zach's times are under the 118 @ 5hrs while the three of us finished it at the 10hr mark

 

but on paper, mark and zack spanked you guys....:lol:

 

I think the goal next year should be to get out of double digits.

 

dude, we were 10 minutes shy. We could've done 8 hours i bet (taking away stop time).

Same time this sat? :lol:

 

I bet they had no way to know who did 118 and who crossed after only 62 miles so any blue number was a 118 time regardless of how far they really went. They did however ask when giving us the medals if we were going back out. I wonder what time it shows for some of those who stopped to eat then went back out.:?:

Damm right we smoked them:lol::lol::lol:

 

So proud of you Jay, Zach, Mark, Aaron and David on this achievement. Now you've crossed over, becoming roadies and are riding epic events. The pictures and ride reports are inspiring and encourage us all! How fun!

Congrats again!

My best to you and Trish, Aaron! Better get her a road bike for an engagement present...

Glad you guys made it out to Vegas. We were happy to ride to the finish with your group, and hope you come out again for another ride. Maybe someday I'll pick up a mountain bike and head to SoCal.

I totally missed the aid station with the doughnuts. Not missing that next year!

I told them I was signed up for the 118 but was calling it quites at 62, though I don't think they really cared. Or maybe they didn't understand me as I was drooling over the Outback lunch. :lol:

I did think it was weird that the medal was the same for the 35, 62, and 118 mile rides.

 

Congrats Aaron on the proposal. Good job on the ride guys. Im ready for a road bike and some 100 mile suffering.

 

Hey guys, you should check out the Tour de Tucson. It's a fantastic ride. Same sort of thing, route is all shut down to cars. Really scenic. The crowd is a little bigger, but that just means there are more people to draft...

 

Details????

I think laughlin to vegas and back would be rad too! just end with a fat belly flop into the colorado!

 

You do realize that it puts the ride at around 170miles. and the climb out of laughlin would be HELL!

 

They were talking about it at the race as they wanted to be bigger then it. I dont know about Tucson, though I mean Vegas is a draw but Tucson?:?:

is the homepage. Weekend before thanksgiving.

I think it's 110 - 115 miles, no real bad hills (unless you do the mt lemon trial the day before). When I went, the weather was AMAZING, people were friendly, twice as many rest stops as I needed, and all well organized.

 

Shh let him try. :lol:

 

Only 170 PFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

its only uphill 1 way!

 

incorrect. the 163 that leads you from Laughlin to the 95 is a 32 mile uphill with a big dip in the middle. It's a climb from either direction. Other than that, it's a walk in the park!:lol:

Other possible route would be to take the 68 from bullhead city going toward Kingman. Just on the eastern end of Golden Valley take the 93AZ north across the hoover dam and then into vegas.

OMG!!! That could be an epic loop on a bike! I don't think you can handle it. Then again, that sort of gives me an idea using an cyclocross bike though...... mixing fire roads and pavement........:-k

 

I think Ken wants to be a Roadie so he join the "fun"
