  • This is one of the only two closed, long-distance, and challenging cycling routes in the Las Vegas Valley (along with the 215 Beltway out by Red Rock). It's a 33 mile riders usually do clockwise. Triathletes tend to start at Boulder Beach (because this is where most triathlons begin and it allows open water swimming before and after the ride. When starting here, the route begins with a long, slow uphill climb leading to Boulder City. The trail never crosses an open road (except, perhaps, a few small backroads in Boulder City). Most of it is nicely paved with asphalt, though, during this uphill stretch, the trail is in the flood channel instead. After leaving the Boulder City area, the slow climb turns more into flat and rolling hills. When passing the water district, there is a drinking fountain to refill water bottles. From there, the Three Sisters loom to the daunting appeal of all riders. They are three consecutive extremely steep uphill and downhill rollers. These, then, led you back into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. When it seems you should be ready to savor the downhill ride for the rest of the route, this isn't exactly what occurs. There are more rolling hills and several of the downhills end in sharp turns requiring riders to slow. If you wish to avoid these turns, simply return to the main NRA road. I dislike the counterclockwise direction. After reaching Boulder City, the trail is straight downhill. While this would normally be loads of fun, the downhill occurs in the flood channel where there are regular grooves that make for a very bumpy, uncomfortable ride. If you choose to ride both the CW and CCW routes in one workout, I recommend starting with the clockwise direction. Though you will be uncomfortable on the downhill back to your finish line, you will not regret having done the bumpy downhill when you were still on more tired legs. It stinks to do that downhill on fresh legs because you can't fly in aero position. This is a fantastic trail, excellent for use by those training for difficult, climbing road races. Note: You will need your National Park Pass if you choose to park at Boulder Beach or if you choose to ride through the guard gate on the southwest side. You do not need it otherwise.
