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.

i didnt get the f.b notice..

I'd like more info for when you guys do a cleanup.

Thanks everyone. I’ve been on the trail many times and it always looks so clean. What kind of trash do you find? Is the trash coming from the casino?

Thanks Thanks Thanks. As a cyclist I occasional stop and kick large rocks off the pavement but i don’t pick up trash. Too bad the “walkers” can’t help keep the rocks off when they come across them.

Thank you all volunteers. That area gets alot of trash blown in from freeway etc.

How about a RMLT pee gravel and liquid rubber to fix the gaps in the trail event.

Riding RMLT clockwise is not easy. Riding it counter-clockwise is just brutal. Either direction really is spectacular. There’s really nothing like it. I’ve been riding it since it opened.

When I rode it and it was 95⁰ outside, I called it "F-ing with Death"

Fun, depending on which way you’re riding!

Isn’t this behind that water treatment plant??

It’s the part that’s about 1 mile behind my house!!!! I ride it every weekend! 😂

yes, that section with the hills is by the rest stop at river mountain water treatment

I have been away from Vegas for 10 YEARS and the only part of the trail I can picture in my mind are those 3 sisters. Not what I called them then

Glad they finally put the warning for wildlife lookout. There's a drinker there and a few times near miss for bighorn sheep while coming down that hill

Before the 3 sisters

no shade at all. smh 🤦‍♂️

Yes

After the Casino

The whoop section!

Sweet rest stop.

Rolly 🤣

Nice place to separate your shoulder at… 😂

E-bikes are a big buzz on the trails and in bike shops. But is it really cycling? And does it matter?

Great article, one of best I have seen on the trail.

Love this trail! And great perspectives by all the bike advocates in the article.

I am 63 and just moved to Las Vegas weeks ago. My first day on the trail I only did about 5 or 6 miles because of wind and not realizing I missed a turn to stay on the trail in the Lake Mead Pkwy area. My intent was to do the whole loop clockwise. As the article states the trail is grueling. I did not realize there was a 2,533 foot elevation gain. My second day on trail was last Wednesday on my Specialized Stumpjumper 29er. I ran out of legs half way through. I had 140 ounces of water on board (a Camelbak and 2-20 ounce water bottles). Ran out of water at mile 30. Also did not have any electrolyte replenishing. Refilled water at a rest area shortly after running out. I made the whole loop. Just barely. I am used to seeing e-bikes on trails and say to myself “I am doing it under my own steam.” I see an e-bike in my future. The immediate future. I now need help with steep grades.

My husband and I ride this multiple times a week. We do as much as possible without power, but then we can hustle home under power. It’s a wonderful trail!!

The article ended up well, but I was a bit put off in the first few paragraphs. I have done the RMLT (all at once) a few times, usually starting from my home, which adds 22 miles to the trip. I am on part of the RMLT almost every weekend, riding from the I-11 bridge to the Bootleg bike sculpture and on to BC for coffee. Until very recently, all of my riding has been on a standard road bike. Over the past few years, riding (and sometimes walking) has become much harder for me thanks to Asthma and COPD. I recently purchased my first e-bike. It has given me hope again. I was worried that my lungs might permanently prevent me from enjoying one of my favorite hobbies. On a side note, we bought my wife a ebike last year, and she now rides more than me. Ebike riders can be as considerate or inconsiderate as any other riders. We should all strive to help on another on the trail or road. Yes, more people on bikes will potentially help cyclists have a larger voice and presence in planning and legislation. Happy trails to all the cyclists out there. 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️❤️🙏

Loved this trail!

We drive over from California’s centra coast to ride the trail on our tandem a few times a year. We love it. In September we rented ebikes from Darryn, what a blast! (We had riders with us who hadn’t ridden in decades so we all tried the ebikes. ) Can’t wait to do it again. I did have an issue since I’m not used to steering, shifting , braking, or even paying attention since my husband does all that from the captains seat!!😂

i see its a fun 36 mile loop. its a shame there isnt more shade. they have the ride thru the tunnel.

Darryn at River Mountains Bike Shop was awesome! Rented several times and even for friends when they visit from out of town. Love ghe River Mountains Loop Trail too.

I finally got on this trail with a Schwin Mountain Bike, made it from Eqestrian to Lake Las Vegas Parkway, had to turn back because of time constraints and wind.....but I plan on finnishing it sson.
