From the website: "Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Park is an extensive network of World Class Downhill and Cross Country mountain bike trails located in Boulder City, Nevada. The area has been visited by riders from as far away as Japan and Germany and has been written up in magazines around the world. The International Mountain Bike Association as certified one of the XC trails as an Epic Ride, a title given out only 18 times so far. Boulder City is located approximately 40 minutes south east of Las Vegas by the Hoover Dam and beautiful Lake Mead. The riding season is year round, however, temperatures average around 100 degrees Fahrenheit from June through August, so mid-day riding is difficult. If you do decide to come in the summer be sure to bring plenty of water and maybe some head lamps for a night ride."
11/1/2007: Biking in Red Rock Canyon. The second day of our mountain biking trip took us just outside Vegas to Red Rock Canyon. I've been to Vegas more than a dozen times, but I never knew that such a spectacular natural wonder was so close by (~17 miles west)! The area offers a wealth of outdoor activities from biking to some gnarly rock climbing. If nothing else, it makes for a welcome contrast from the gambling/smoking/drinking lifestyle of the Strip.
Everyone else came in that night, and we spent the rest of the time doing the typical Vegas thing. Attended ED's private party at Risque on Thursday. Slept in wayyyyy too late Friday and actually missed the entire SEMA show altogether (oops). Went out again on Friday night to Margaritaville and V-Bar (at the Venetian). Jenny tripped and fell forward smack on her face - no one even bothered to help her because they were too busy laughing. Brian finally managed to break his streak of puking. Maisie walked straight into one of those portable vendor carts. Steve stayed out of the ER. We stopped by the outlets on Saturday before taking in some buffet food and crazy (stupid) gambling at Mandalay Bay (sorry Otto). I came back a few hundred dollars wealthier, two undershirts short (ripped to shreds), one dress shirt stretched out (sorry Ryan). Now if that isn't a good time, then I don't know what is!
The End.
