Labor Day Weekend 9/1- 9/2 Bike/Camp/Watersports II
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN FOLKS. I HAVE BEEN INUNDATED WITH EMAILS TO ORGANIZE ANOTHER WEEKEND OF RIDING MESHED WITH CAMPING AND WATERSPORTS. THIS TIME WE WILL HAVE OUR EXPERT KAYAKERS ON BOARD TO TEACH YOU IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.
ACTIVITIES:
1. BIKING
2. CAMPING -and yes camping is an activity
3. WAKEBOARDING
4. WATERSKIING
5. JETSKIING
6. KAYAKING
7. TUBING
8. HIKING
9. RAPPELLING IN THE VALLEY OF FIRE
DAY 1
Time: Rolling sharp at 7am
Where: Starting at the Overton Beach Marina (please note the change in start locations)
Route: Out and Back Loop including a trip up to the White Domes.
Sag Support: Yes
Ride Sweeper: Yes
Miles: 56
Accomadation Choices:
1. Camping - please let me know if you are camping and if you want us to supply your tent and stuff.
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.
HOWEVER MOST CAMPERS WILL BE "LAKE CAMPING" WHICH MEANS THEY WILL BE CAMPING LAKESIDE RIGHT IN THE SAME AREA WHERE WE SET UP OUR UV COVERS.
2. Hotel - Best Western in Overton - closest to the marina.
Day 2 - More of the same
We will ride again at 7am - Starting again at the Overton Marina and cover a different area with about 40 miles of riding.
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.
MANDATORY: EVERYONE MUST WEAR A LIFE VEST regardless of your abilities while riding 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 TO SEE YOU THERE
Also if you are only coming for one day please let me know which day you are coming

Do it...just do it! :-) Hey, Mark (Hollywood) just challenged me last night to a spin-off at VOF on Saturday and then goes and plans to ride the Lee Canyon climb! That boy is confused. So, should Mark make an appearance Saturday, I'll need some extra muscle power to wear him out!!

This could be a maybe if the wheather is a little more conducive to a nights sleep and days ride. But tell us more about that Mt. Charleston Hill Climb thing on Saturday. 
Is there a link to the organizing entity?

No special shoes are needed. Hiking boots or even sneakers are fine. If you're an experienced Rappeller (if that's even a real word) I'm sure you would already have them. The guys/gals that are leading this excursion are seasoned climbers and stated you only need the above. But if you are experienced and don't have the shoes and plan on reaching new heights PM me.
PM me.

I'm out. I should visit my parents since I haven't visited them for a while. Hopefully some other time... it really does look like fun.

Went and rode Lee Canyon yesterday (Mt. Chuck hill climb)....cannot see myself racing up that with 100 other bloaks....it took plenty of concentration just focusing on keeping myself on the road. For those of you who haven't done the climb...it's only 17 miles of pain and promise....just do NOT stop pedaling until you reach the top. 
VOF ride sounds really nice right now.

I'm definitely interested. I'll have to check w/my better half, but if we do come, it'll be 5 or 6 of us (my daughter may have to work). Ages of the kids: 13, 11, & 9. Camping.
Asia, what costs can I expect to incur?
