Where is the best place to report on a particular ride? I'm an explorer but no place to report discoveries so I'm going to report my Sunday ride here.
11 days ago, the last 2.5 miles of the Mountain River Trail paved MUP was completed. It circles a Las Vegas valley rim mountain like a giant roller-coaster with spectacular views of the Las Vegas strip and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Here's the video. It's pretty fun.

Start a thread, maybe it will catch on. C&V has a "where did you ride today" thread, this Commuting section has a "how was your commute today" thread, looks like there are several "ride report" threads.

Sounds like you had a nice ride, but a 14 minute vid means I have to watch it at home.

the road forum has a lot of reports, as does 50+, but MUP rides might be better off in a regional forum.

It's a national recreation trail.

It might be a national recreational trail, but only locals or people who travel there get to use it.

And just out of curiousity, having never been to Vegas, how many people will be using that MUP for commuting?

We have a paved trail system here, but I'd wager that only 5% of the bicycles on it are in commuter mode...
