Viva Las Vegas 200k Jan 13 2024

[Ken Moss]

Hi all,

Since Las Vegas has been our traditional winter riding grounds, we have been invited to join San Diego Randonneurs for a new 200k route in Las Vegas Jan. 13. This route is based loosely off of Richard's Dam Ride 200k but has some different routing in sections. SDR is hosting the ride, so registration is at their website.

Ride details and registration:

Route:

Any questions? Please post here.

Thanks,

Ken

That route looks awesome. Red Rocks. Lake Mead. The Hoover Dam. All over the MLK 3-Day weekend? That might be too good to pass up.

Except that the permanent goes across the dam into Arizona, useful if you try to snag a new state (but probably most of us have already gone forgotten that state).

With that much climbing, I would definitely be bringing lights.

Hey Phil… you got my vote for the board, good luck!

I soooooo want to do this. Hopefully I can work it out. 

[Phil Fox]

Appreciate your support Richard! High fives and fist bumps. 

Pro tip: Always bring lights in January even for a 200K. I've made that mistake more times than I'd like to admit with the short days in Chicago. 😅

Speaking of American Explorer. I definitely need Nevada! And even for a holiday weekend - flight prices look pretty good!

I suppose somebody could modify the permanent to match the brevet (except go in the extra half a mile across the dam into Arizona), and then ride simultaneously with the rest of us.

The permanent might be ready for an upgrade anyway because it looks like the brevet follows more bite paths and less Highway. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve been down there to do that route.
