Biking my 50 miles in Nevada

We spent two days down in Nevada during Robert's spring break.  It was in the high 90's and my out-of-shape fanny got a work out.

We stayed in Henderson and did this great loop by Lake Mead

and Lake Las Vegas.  We thought it was 30 miles, but much to 

out dismay, it turned out to be 35 miles.  The last 10 miles was 

so very, very hard.  Up hill and hot, hot, hot.

The trail head was at a casino, so we went in there to change before

heading over to Hoover Dam.  I sat down in a soft chair in the lobby

and truly wondered if I could ever get up again.

but I did.

 Hoover Dam was very cool.

actually it was hot there too, but you know what I mean.

 50 miles in Nevada!!

We did the last 15 miles the next morning in Mesquite. 

It was a very nice ride, except for the torture of sitting again on my bruised be-hind.
