This mythical creature emerged on two wheels from the darkened mountain bike trail tunnel into the Late Night parking lot off State Route 160.
This helmeted bicycling bigfoot of Red Rock's dirt trails looked familiar.
His name?
Jared Fisher.
I was on my road bike and had just climbed to the Mountain Springs summit and was descending back to the homestead when I made a pitstop about five miles down the massive downhill at the Late Night lot.
I figured I might meet a few people and engage in some ad-hoc bicycling schmoozing.
Indeed, I bumped into an Escape Adventures tour guide, Javy, and the EA van where I met Javy and a customer, a fella from the Washington, DC area who had lived in Tampa and Jacksonville.
Then as I took off and pedaled back toward SR 160 out of the parking lot when I noticed his bike first and then The Fisher King himself.
Many have heard of this bicycling sasquatch, but you are a lucky person to enjoy an actual sighting and conversation with Jared.
Near the Mountain Springs summit is a side road to a famous biker bar and a Nevada Department of Transportation site. There were some fun signs:
