RMLT in the News…”…best places for biking in Las Vegas?”

July 28, 2009 – This is a segment from this morning LV. Sun “Six Questions for Scott Nowicki ( Teacher in UNLV’s Department of Geosciences)” by Alexandra Berzon

Q. #5 What are the best places for biking in Las Vegas?

Red Mountain loop at Blue Diamond Highway. It’s spectacular. You’re riding on relatively quiet road and the geology is just there in front of you, all splayed out. On the other side of the valley is River Mountains Loop (Trail). It’s a paved road within this almost natural environment with huge vistas, great landscapes, and it’s safe. No cars. Those are too world-class road-riding situations, in addition to the area’s world-class mountain biking.

__________________________________________

Safe biking will only get better in a few weeks when the Henderson to Boulder City segment is completed. The trail will be high above US 93/95 going through Railroad Pass providing panoramic views and safe travel.

    This route looks interesting. I’d love to know more details or have a MapMyRide map of it!

    Bicylcists, Please remember that pedestrians will be on the trail and that Pedestrians have the right of way! Show some courtesy and warn those on foot of your approach. In lieu of a bell on your bike, you might say “Approaching!”, “Passing on your left”. Sneaking up at 30 mph upon someone walking is just plain RUDE! And can give someone heart failure. Warn of your approach please!

    Terri makes a good point, and with cooler tiemps just around the corner we’ll find much higher use in the coming months. Lets be trail friendly to other users….

They're doing water main construction. I live near there and was notified about the project.

Probably dropping construction materials to one of those mega mansions in the hill

Looks like a recovery or a rescue. Its been happening for a couple of hours.
