Let's Bike From Red Rock High Desert To The Strip And Back To Red Rock Canyon: 52 Miles Of Nature And Neon

It's The Big Rectangle bike ride, a 52-mile bicycle route I concocted from my homestead out in the high desert near Blue Diamond down to the Strip (Raiders and A's stadium sites), then over to downtown Las Vegas and Alta Drive, which is followed to Summerlin and Red Rock Canyon, and back to my home.

Wow! It's an amazing bike ride from Red Rock to the Strip and back to Red Rock. I biked down to Blue Diamond Road, took a left of Fort Apache and used the Justin Jones bike lanes and then it was a right turn on Warm Springs Road to take me to Valley View Road and the Raiders stadium.

I don't need to borrow photos or videos from the A's social media for content on the A's stadium construction site. I take my own photos and delight in documenting the world from my bicycle nd along bike bike rides.

I also stopped off at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix pit building site to check out the bike rack in the parking lot at F1's $500 million grand prix race complex off Koval Lane. Security would not let me in, so I dropped Las Vegas Grand Prix President Emily Prazer's name and that did the trick.

There was also a pit stop at Jay's Market, a wonderful sponsor of LVSportsBiz.com. Please shop at Jay's Market at 190 East Flamingo Road at the Koval Lane intersection.

Then it was a bike ride down the Strip, before I made a left at Circus Circus to cut through to Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, which become Industrial Road in the city of Las Vegas. It was a marvelous 74 degrees.

 A left on Alta Boulevard, a decent road for bicyclists, which goes west to Summerlin. It was a left turn on the 215 trail past Palo Verde High School and a right on Charleston Boulevard/State Route 159 and through Red Rock Canyonback to the homestead.

They have started to work on building a paced trail from Summerlin to the Red Rock Scenic Drive entrance, the first segment of a bike trail that is supposed to go all the way to Blue Diamond Road. They're working on the shoulders so would you used full lae on State Route 159 where drivers are people racing at 60-70 mph?
