We then drove up to Mesquite Nevada (about 1 1/2 hours NE of Vegas). Where we met up with some of the Silver folks. Ted has come down to this area for several years (as his in-laws have a home there). And he invited everyone down this year.
First off, let me say I have NEVER done anything even close to this level of Extreme Mountain Biking...and my 1995 Cannondale was well below par for this adventure (not to mention the rider).
Anyway, we did some epic climbing - imagine rock staircases, long 5+ mile gravel road climbs, speedy descents, both on gravel road and more of the rock staircase variety. Not to mention the shear 100+ ft. cliff drop-offs on one side or the other often times.
Needless to say, I "white-knuckled" it most of the rides.
We did stop, so I got some nice pictures.
Ted on the trail.
To prove I was there...
We went hiking in Snow Canyon one windy day. Beautiful!
Next time, I'm bringing a better bike.
