Eric C.

McGhie's (on W. Sahara) also owns Blue Diamond Bike Outpost in Blue

Diamond (at least they did a couple of years ago) , which is only

blocks from the trailhead in the Red Rock Canyon area.....if you want

to rent a mountain bike and do an MTB ride....they may have some road

bikes there also.



the other bike shop on the west side of Las Vegas on W. Charleston is

Pro Cyclery......definitely a higher-end shop than McGhie's, but don't

know if they do rentals or not.



After Interbike, McGhie's goes full on into ski/snowboard mode...so the

bike stuff is shoved to one end of the store...



pro cyclery's website is:



http://www.procyclery.com



it gets cold up in the Red Rocks area this time of year...(most folks

will ride the loop from W. Charleston out to Blue Diamond and back

through the Red Rock area) ....it's up in elevation higher than Las

Vegas, so you might want to bring some tights, arm warmers, etc....



you can also ride through the Red Rock Canyon park...along the scenic

drive...you may have to pay an entry fee...it's a good climb!



I think there's a regular ride on weekends leaving from the Starbuck's

on W. Charleston (the Summerlin ritzy residential area).



hope this helps.

Does anybody happen to know if a person can rent a road bike in Las

Vegas or

perhaps the best place to do so?

I'll be there next week and don't want to just totally nuke my

training.

Okay, here's what I found.

McGhee's at 4503 W Sahara, phone: (702-252-8077) (about 1/2 drive from the

strip) rents Trek 2100's with 105 groupo for $35.00 a day for the 1st day &

$25.00 a day thereafter. For a one week rental, they knock off the cost of

one day. He'll let you use a helmet (ewwwee), flat repair stuff and of

course you can bring your own peddles. He has a heck of an accent but does

seem to mind repeating himself. :)

Steve, there is a bike shop on the way out to Red Rock Canyon, and last time

I was there they rented bikes, and you can ride out to the canyon and do a

nice 20 mile loop. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the shop, but

it is right on the way out to the canyon.
