July 28-29th Las Vegas - Valley Of Fire -- Bike Ride - Wakeboard and Waterskiing Weekend

Meet: Exit 75 off I-15 North - Valley of Fire Exit. There is an Indian Casino and Gas station as soon as you get off the exit ramp. We will meet and park right past the gas pumps.
Time: Rolling sharp at 7am
Route: Out and Back Loop including a trip up to the White Domes.
Sag Support: Yes
Miles: 56

Immediately following the ride we will proceed to the Overton Marina for the 2nd half of our fun and action packed day.

Accomadation Chocies:

1. Camping - please let me know if you are camping and if you want us to supply your tent and stuff. If so it will be set up the day before.
There are only 2 overnight camp grounds in Valley of Fire, both are in the Atlatl Rock loop/Beehive area west of the visitors center. The Atlatl Rock camp has showers.

2. Hotel - Best Western in Overton - closest to the marina.

Day 2 - much more of the same
We will ride again at 7am and cover a different area with about 40-50 miles of riding. If you want to do more...we can surely do more.

Things to bring:

Swimsuit

Long sleeved cotton white shirt - button up. Please don't bring a good quality shirt it is going to be gnarly afterwards. If you don't have an old one - you can buy one at goodwill for 1.50

Sunscreen of course

Hat and sunglasses

Watershoes - NO FLIP FLOPS PLEASE.

Coolers with whatever your heart desires: If you drink beer or alcohol that is fine. We just don't allow alcohol to be consumed on the boat.

We will bring a camping stove and all the UV Sunscreen houses and chairs. The marinas have restaurants and places to grab a quick bite.

If you are bringing children - THAT IS GREAT - just let me know they can start their fun early. Our good friend Virgil has 2 kids aged approx 9 and 10 and will be happy to give them pulls on the tube or rides on the jetskis with parental permission of course. If not they can just cruise the lake until we finish. He will meet us at the starting point to pick up any children.

MANDATORY: EVERYONE MUST WEAR A LIFE VEST regardless of your abilities while riding in the boat, on the jetskis and tubing.

Please post any questions you may have and I will be happy to answer them. Please let me know if you're coming and if you're bringing children. I want to make sure we have all the supplies necessary.

HOPE TOO SEE YOU THERE


As I stated before: for those that do not wish to camp or stay at the hotels, I have room at my house and you are more than welcome. Shoot me a PM and we will set it up.

We will have room for everyone. Our good friend James that some of you met doing Baldy is coming and he has a boat as well and is in on the festivities. Virgil has a boat and toys too. PLENTY OF ROOM.

JUST GIVE ME A HEADCOUNT.

Kar3368

Bummer! I can't make this!!
I will be at my friend Andy's wedding on the 28th in Moorpark.

thomson

Is that at the Secret Garden?

Kar3368

Hey Jim,
Nope, it is at the Moorpark Country Club!
If I remember correctly it is later on in the day so I can ride first Thank goodness (ya know Priorities!!)

thomson

Bingo on the priorities!!

A friend of mine is attending a wedding this month at the Secret Garden is why I was curious.

Enjoy the Country Club. Nice place!! maybe you should just bicycle there?

Kar3368

I may actually take a cab in case I want a Margarita or three (just one and I am WAY over the limit)
No drinking and driving at all.
I am not sure the big rush for him to get married ( I tried to warn him, don't do it...hahahah)
They just got engaged two months ago....
another one bites the dust..............teeehehee

merider1

I'm in, but I definitely would like to carpool with someone, please, and if I could find a roommate at the hotel. I don't really want to camp this go around. Anyone? Anyone?

Okay Girlie, Chicky and I are in. I don't know if we are staying for the boat ride but we are in for the bike ride.

sonyaj87@hotmai

On Sunday...Working Sat.

Mr. Beanz

I'm not sure if you'd want us to go. We look terrible in swimsuits. I just can't ever seem to get the speedos to stay above the crack!

nygirl777

Beanz that's a bad visual......I mean a really bad visual.

efficiency

Whoa. This sounds like a real extravaganza!

How far is the campground from the rest of the festivities?

merider1

OMG...you are too funny.

nygirl777

For the water stuff: it's our hub It's where we anchor the boats and jetskiis, have the screenhouses and etc. Sit around and chit chat. All in the same vicinity. You can actually be relaxing on shore inside the UV screenhouse and watch the wakeboarders and skiiers go by. I will see if I can find some pictures to give you a better idea.
The tents are just set up a little ways back.

This is the same weekend as the Palomar bike ride ... Hmmm

nygirl777

A pretty lame example would be this photo of my husband - the land behind him is where the campsite would be.

OK another question from my wife. Is the campsite going to be on the grounds at Overton, with bathroom facitlies? Apparently, she doesn't like to rough it quite as much as she did in the scouts. I haven't stayed at Overton in about 10 years, so I can't remember which accomodations they had, and I don't know if that's what you meant by "camping". We went beach camping on a remote shore of Lake Mead once. Fun, but the wife doesn't want the hole-in-the-ground toilet anymore.

I would love to join you but as I told you Saturday, my daughter is coming down from St. George.

I have spent numerous weeks and weekends on Lake Powell, Lake Mojave, Lake Mead and the River. Everybody that can go should go. Being around the water, the sun, is just a great stress reliever and add the bike rides in and you will have a weekend that can't be beat.
