Nellis AFB Course Ride Report


We were contacted a couple of months ago regarding the possiblity of doing a duathlon or a time trial at Nellis AFB. We were honored and excited about the possiblity of doing something with the Air Force men and women. Today several club members went for an exporlatory ride out there with air force cyclists and triathletes, an opportunity most of us never get. The scenery was terrific and roads are well paved and almost deserted. There are a variety of courses that could be laid out. The Air Force was having an exercise so there were planes taking off all the time - as we returned we were momentarily under the flight path - an F-16 makes a lot of noise taking off. The American flag on our jerseys never looked better.

Thanks Nellis!! We had a great time.

We think we will try to put on a Club time trial before the end of the season.
