RE: Monday 9/1/14 Labor Day, Red Rock Ride
Since when is 8:30 early , my normal wake up for work is 4:30 you slackers Smile. I kid, but already been at Red Rock for an hour it's nice zero wind so far. I am taking off soon, my wife thinks Labor Day means I work on trimming bushes etc at my house Sad

Riding hard since 1981 !

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 150...

Although no one posted in, I've gotta bail, got something important to take care of. If anyone shows up, have fun.

isnt it cute how the wifeys have that bad habit of mistaking holidays as chore days?

Meanwhile, as the only one that showed...
It got crowded with unitard-clad cyclists. Anyone up for something later on the day?

Think for yourself, question authority.

Actually another guy showed up and went on through the loop, but one "no one else was coming" then he left chevrock same time as me.

Be prepared for several paragraphs of "Why Not?"

Well, it actually turned out in my favor. After a loop, breakfast, and another loop, I decided to hell with it and went up to the bar on Potosi for a drink. Then, riding down the western slope, I decided to check out Lovell Canyon Rd., which was pretty neat. I didn't know it was paved, so I never checked it out. Not that dirt really stops me.
Then I decided to go into Pahrump because why not. A quartet of squids showed up at the Shell I was at so I bailed, and as I was going north out of Pahrump I decided to go and see what Ash Meadows was all about. Turns out the south entrance is mostly a big gravel road, the kind that tears holes in sport tires. Passing that I went into Armagosa and met a couple of riders, one on a Sportster and one on a Katana, and chatted for an hour.
Taking their advice I headed south through Shoshone, and up and through Death Valley. Very impressive. I even took the very wash-boarded dirt road to the natural bridge hike, which I hiked. Nearly ran out of gas getting back to Pahrump. After filling up I took the north route through Indian Springs back home.
A pleasant, impromptu, 12 hours of exploring, because why not?

(Edit: What's up with the image uploading thing. Neither method is working.)
