Thursday Bike Ride

Took the Specialized Turbo Levo out in the desert for a few hours.  I saw a tunnel under the highway the other day so I followed the powerlines and found a back way to Gold Strike Canyon.   If you ever have 1/2 a day in Vegas, go hike this trail.  It has 6 short rope climbs through the boulders.  Instead of taking the highway back, I cut over to the Hoover dam (Boulder dam as the locals still call it) and took the historic railroad tunnel trail back.  Got to see the lake from a new angle few ever see.
