OK, There are a few GOOD Things about Vegas!

After re-reading our last few post on Vegas, we've definitely put out the impression that its not our favorite place. We don't like the traffic, the smog, the crowds or the casinos; so, I guess its not one of our favorite places! Today, I finally found a reason to like the Vegas area....The mountain bike trails!

Laura dropped me off at a local trail head to do some exploring in the Red Rock Canyon. She is still getting over her cold and didn't feel up to riding. Nice trails here with a great looking back drop:


I was out by myself, so I used the self-timer feature on the camera to capture some 'action shots'. They didn't turn out too bad.












Yeah, I know I have my foot down in this pic. It was tough to run through the creek, up the hill and get on my bike in time for the shot. I did ride that section though, twice, just because of the creek crossing;)


We'll have to do some more exploring in the Red Rock Canyon and the Black Canyon near the Hoover Dam when we return in January! And, maybe another dinner at Okada, for my b-day on the 4th!!! -Rich-
