On June 19, 2013 our good friend and teammate Pete Makowski lost his life while riding his bike here in Southern Nevada. Pete was a phenomenal athlete, but he was also well known as a very conscientious and safe rider; often going out of his way to avoid roads he considered unsuitable for safe riding. We want to remember Pete by doing our part to ensure the safety of anyone who rides a bicycle. We are hosting this ride to bring the local cycling community together to celebrate this wonderful sport, but also to learn how to share the roads more safely.

Ride Details: Entry Fee: $20.00 for all participants. All proceeds will go to raising awareness for Nevada's 3ft. law and educating riders and drivers about cycling safety. Also to putting on this event each year.
Route: The ride will travel south on Las Vegas Blvd. to Jean, NV and back. The course is an out and back route that consists of approximately 28 flat to rolling miles. Any type of bike will do and there are plenty of early turn around spots in case you want to cut your ride short. Helmets are required for all riders. The majority of the course is closed off to all traffic. The first mile, leading up to the Sloan turnoff is open. You must obey all traffic rules for the first mile. Road closures begin at the Sloan turnoff.
Safety: Safety is the number one concern of this event. It is NOT a race, it is NOT competitive, it's NOT a training ride. The goal of this event is to promote cycling safety and bring together the cycling community as a whole. The ride will have a controlled pace of 12-14 mph.
The first mile is open to traffic up to the Sloan turnoff. There will be law enforcement and ride marshals to guide riders to the Sloan turn off where full road closure begins. We want cyclists of all ages and abilities to take part and enjoy this great event with other cyclists.
Route map: Simple out and back course.
It's Approximately 28 miles from Camping World to Jean, NV and back.
