10.11.08. Deaf bicyclist, Justin Kreger, receives a new bicycle today.
The bicycle and training and safety accessories were presented to Justing Kreger at the Tour de Cure 2009 Kick Off and Reunion Ride at Land Rover of Las Vegas. Generous donations from Land Rover of Las Vegas, Las Vegas Cyclery, Red Rock Running Company, Sunset Racing, Specialized Bicycles and many of his fellow cyclists made it possible to get the bicycle of his dreams.
Jared Fisher of Las Vegas Cyclery presents Justin his new "steed"
Avid Las Vegas bicyclist, Justin Kreger, is recovering from a horrific accident in April 2008 that fractured his neck, back and face. Kreger was hit by a driver under the influence of drugs in broad daylight while in the bike lane, wearing a helmet and following the rules of the road. After weeks in the hospital, months in a "halo" then a neck brace, Kreger returned to work on August 21 and plans to be bicycling again in early 2009 - time he looks forward to as "pure joy".
Kreger, 43, is a fourteen year resident of Las Vegas and has been a serious cyclist for 21 years. He is deaf and works as a Sign Language Aide at Las Vegas High School and is also a talented graphic designer and artist.
The American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure is one of southern Nevada's premier fundraising events. Hundreds of cyclists will ride on April 4th 2009 from the Hnderson Events Plaza to Lake Mead and Lake Las Vegas followed by a celebration with friends and family for lunch, entertainment, awards and prizes.
10.5.08. Local, Asia Garrett, donates her time to support an enjoyable ride.
This is a semi-regular ride that was started by a very nice lady named Asia Garrett. This time the ride was organized by Asia and her friends Scott and Charina, and their daughter, who drove the support vehicle for us filled with snacks, water and Gatorade.
The weather was absolutely perfect as the storm that had blown through the night before left the air clean, cool, and damp. There wasn't even a hint of the W - word.
Around 20 of us started out from the Moapa fireworks store at exit 75 at around 7:00 am. We regrouped at the entrance to Valley of Fire, where we had to pay a $1 fee to ride into the park. We then rode down into the park and took the side road to Mouse's Tank and White Domes. After a brief stop, we rode back to the visitors center where we regrouped again and tanked up on cookies, sandwiches, all sorts of snacks and drinks.
From there there were options to head back out of VoF to the start, or continue down to the Vof east gate before heading back. The group split pretty evenly in half on the long and short options.
The long option turned out to be just under 60 miles; the short option was just shy of 50. Everyone had a great time and we all agreed we should do it again asap.

Strong8.31.08. The battle on the hill between Dave Francis and Chris Walker ended at mile 11 of the 18 mile climb when Francis left Walker by setting a grueling pace and securing the Win.
Winner of the 2008 Mt. Charleston Hill Climb shares his strategy in this interview. By the way, Dave climbed this hill twice a week in preparation for the race. Great Job to Dave and the whole Red Burro Racing squad for putting on a great event.

Tour De Cure. With over 300 registered riders, this years ride was a huge success! There was food, entertainment, three great rides (including a kids 2 mile bike ride) and a kids bike safety and rodeo class. Thanks to Reagan and Mary Stokes for hosting a premier event and raising money for a great cause, to fight the battle against diabetes.
TNW. Controversy in the pack at TNW. Seems there was a group that was a lap down on the field due to accident. As a result, Lance Coburn from Team Penta took the overall win and the team tally to 3. Look for plenty of exciting action next Tuesday as the teams battle it out for the top spot.
3.10.08
TNW is starting up tomorrow. Come to the lakes and check out the ride. This is an unsponsored, unsupported ride. Not a race. All riders ride at their own risk.
