LAS VEGAS, CA - Sin City is calling on all cycling enthusiasts for the annual RTC Viva Bike Vegas. This year's 115-mile (186-kilometer) Century Ride will be held on October 9, 2010.
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) says the ride will follow a one-of-a-kind and historic route across the nearly completed Hoover Dam Bridge, which reaches 900 feet above the Colorado River, before it's open to vehicular traffic.
As well as featuring the 115-mile Century Ride, the RTC has planned routes for cyclists of all skill levels, including a 50-mile (81- km) Half Century Ride and a 23-mile (37-km) ride designed to go from downtown Las Vegas to the west end of Las Vegas along the famous Alta Drive Scenic route. The 23-mile ride is a great for beginners.
All proceeds from Viva Bike Vegas go towards the Greater Las Vegas After-School All-Stars and the Nevada Cancer Institute.
The Greater Las Vegas After-School All-Stars provide at-risk youth with after-school programs that afford them opportunities to participate in sports, educational, cultural and community enrichment programs
The Nevada Cancer Institute is committed to advancing cancer treatment through frontiers of knowledge and world-class research; cancer services to the people of Nevada; and implementation of groundbreaking methods of prevention, detection and treatment of cancer.
