Pete, Is there anything like this--woods, hills, terrain,
etc all in one ride, closer to Las Vegas? I've got some
friends my girlfriend and I will be visiting in the fall,
who live in Vegas. While Bootleg Canyon is fairly close,
and I do want to ride it, I prefer riding in forests on
mountains to riding exclusively in open/non-shaded desert.
Bull Ranch-cow canyon seems a great compromise, but I can
see from Mapquest its like an 8 hour drive. Any
suggestions? Dan V

Dan, Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert. You will be
hard pressed to find any mounatins or forests within a
reasonable distance.

Penny, As much as the stories I've heard about rides at
Bootleg Canyon are compelling, the idea of spending 3 or
more hours riding in open sun (no trees) is not very
appealing. I guess we'll try to do all the rides from 6am to
10am, but the video from Reno sure looks more appealing than
the still photographs I have seen from Bootleg....;-)

There should be some trails around Mt. Charleston by Vegas.
You should be able to get some info from the local bike
shops. If you're willing to travel 8 hrs to MTB then I would
suggest Mammoth and Lake Tahoe. Though Reno can be fun
riding for the locals, Lake Tahoe is much better.

Get over it, southern NV is in the Mojave Desert.

The Spring Mountains in the Toiyabe National Forest are in
the middle of the desert too. They're about 50-60 miles
outside of Las Vegas. Weird eco-system because of being
surrounded by desert. At 10+k feet, they're considerably
cooler than the Las Vegas area. There's even a ski resort
there. I only remember it because I had to visit it for
work once.

Mt Charleston just outside of town. Forests and skiing in
winter (sorta). Didn't ride MTBs when I lived there, so I
don't know if there's any rides out that way, put it's worth
checking into.

Dan, will you be riding DH,XC, FR, AM, 4X, 2WD, STP, or an
EIEIO bike? Tom

Shame on you for speaking of which you know not. Mt
Charleston is right on top of Vegas and has a ski resort.

My favorite ride in the shadows of Charleston, 45 minutes
from my ex-in-law's condo:

Oh, wait, I should have scrolled up to see that was Dan V
asking for info. Nevermind, Dan, the Elvis Presta trails are
ridden only by SSers, they suck for geared bikes.

I tried to convince Michael Paul to try Elvis Presta, but he
insisted on Zigfried Schraeder.
