Riding That Bicycle Trail Roller-Coaster: Mountain River Trail

The second half of today's bicycling doubleheader brought me to the Mountain River Trail, a 35-mile roller-coaster trail with lots of s-curves and hairpin turns that makes a big loop from Boulder City to Henderson to Lake Mead National Recreational Area and back to BC. I met a cyclist from southwest Minnesota named Marty, an electrical engineer who has raced around the country and was in town with three bicycle pals for a fun training weekend.
