Presented by the Bike Shop in Henderson, seven of my friends and I participated in the 3rd annual…read moreChocolate Chase Ride on 2/22/14. When we heard about a 70 mile ride that only cost $50 and had stops along the way for chocolate, we were immediately on board. My social circle trends towards food-loving active types, so this was right up our alley. Limited to 200 cyclists, the Chocolate Chase ride had four distances to choose from: 15, 30, 50, and the newly added 70 mile route. We opted for the 70 mile route and that's the route I'm reviewing; I don't know where the other routes stopped exactly. We didn't know what the route was until the day before the ride as the organizers wanted it to be a surprise. We got to see lots of Henderson, Boulder City, and Green Valley, plus eat some delicious carbs along the way. The ten stops were: Flemming's Bake Shop: brownie SouthWest Diner in Boulder City: chocolate-covered strawberry Lil Brown Sugar Cupcake Cafe: cake pop or mini-cupcake, your choice Mustang Sally's; chocolate protein milkshake Ethel M's Chocolate Factory: milk, dark, or white chocolate plus brittle Sweet Addiction: your choice of a cookie or a scoop of ice cream Sweet Ruby Jane's Confections: some kind of candy. I stopped eating after Sweet Addiction, can you believe it? I had reached my sugar limit. My friends had not. Layers Bakery: I think it was a Grasshopper brownie. I had water here. Popcorn Girl: popcorn sample of your choice. I stayed on my bike. Thrifty Ice Cream: I didn't even go in, but I'm sure it was ice cream. This ride benefited the Fibrous Dysplasia Foundation, so not only was it a fun time for all of us, but it helped a great cause. I've paid much more for events that did not offer this much stuff, so I'd highly recommend it if you are interested in doing it next year, especially with the different mileages to choose from. Kudos to the Bike Shop and all the sponsors for hosting such a great ride; we look forward to 2015 and more sugar!

Not timed but still as first year triathlon with Rage and Silverman 70.3 on deck great way too start my year. The third year for the event one that keeps growing cause they have cut off limit 200 riders. They offer three distances 30, 50, 70. So distance for just about every type of rider. I went for the 70 miler with fellow AJ teammates. Along the way stopped by Sweet Ruby Janes Confections, Pop Corn Girl, Chef Flemmings Bake Shop, Sweet Addiction, Ethel M's Chocolate, Layers Bakery, South West Diner, Ford/Mistang Sally, Lil Brown Sugar Cupcake Cafe, and Thrifty Icecream. I would break down every on but that lot of chocolate. Every step along the way love the encouragement gave the riders, smiles keep you going forward, and good sugar rush always keeps the energy up! =) The ride was charity so another thing refreshing see local establishment participating and enjoying the experience as much as riders. The portions were right size too not slow you down. The bike shop that put on the race hats off too them. Finish the race they had whole table of recovery food. Well organized from package pickup too sending out riders in waves based on mileage you signed up for the race. The only thing felt could have done better is more clear signage guide you along the way. They give you paper with the route but really looking at paper same time looking out for cars. Not greatest idea. The route was beautiful had some challenging parts but most part nice long cruise route. One that enjoy can 70 miles with friends and fortunate beautiful weather ride day!

It's a great hike that has been sculpted for the individual to walk through a path and even venture out into a little off roading too. Are you looking to bike and explore? The biking experience here is great? Lots of great terrain! Be careful and take it easy. The cliff faces will just keep going with you sliding down if you're not careful. When walking make sure and be prepared. Come and enjoy the views of nature. At this point observe the seasons . For some moments even in summer it's cold enough to need a light jacket. Bring water, this is the outdoors . Take the path and walk a little. Clear your mind and seek the light that comes with going out side. Shall we begin.

But I have walked a couple of different portions of it covering several miles. Most recently I walked from around mile 11 to roughly mile 13. This section has some steep grades that I struggled to get back up. What can I say? I'm out of shape. A few weeks earlier I walked a bit of the section from Rail Road pass towards Henderson. This was more flat and a fairly easy walk. Not the most scenic. The nearby rail line is cool. The path close to and behind a hotel tower is not so great. And the parking lot was full of people living in vans. All that was misisng was the river. That wasn't so nice. Next I would like to walk a portion through or near Boulder City. The area around Bootleg Canyon should be nice. I look forward to checking it out in the weeks to come.

That said, I signed up anyway with a Groupon that made it pretty cheap, and the event was more organized than I'd expected. Held at Sunset Park, the route utilized the dusty desert area alongside the Eastern entrance and had multiple water stations. Organizers were friendly and in costume. Event included "blaster cuffs" in lieu of the usual t-shirt, as well as a finishers medal, though the event was untimed. Would I do this again? Probably, moreso if it's discounted again.

Just Run offers a 10 K, 5 K and a 1-mile walk/run. There is also a virtual run. I did participate in the Halloween (Hallowrock) and will be participating in the Rockin Reindeer race in a few weeks. I ended up leaving my residence around 7:20 since Floyd Lamb Park is only a few minutes away from my residence. There were a lot of runners. The race was sold out. Parking was a little difficult. The area near Group Area 5 was completely full. A lot of vehicles had to backup and park near the entrance to Floyd Lamb Park. Luckily, we were able to make it to the start of the race right at 8:00 A.M. The race didn't start until 8:10 A.M. The 10k runners went first. The overall route doesn't have much elevation gain which is great! Unfortunately, the map layout was strange this year. For the 5k, the route had us start from the start line, then cross over from where the additional 5k and 10k runners were, and then had to loop around. When I spoke with other 5k runners on the run, it felt like the course was a lot longer than just a 5k. When I had got to the 2 mile sign, my Garmin had 3.3 miles on it. By the time the race was finished, I had about 4.4 miles on my Garmin. Other runners had also mentioned for the 5k running a lot longer than normal at 5k. JusRun sent out an email addressing the mistaken course change. and had updated the timing to accommodate all of the extra miles for the 5k and 10k runners. I was super sore afterwards, but luckily it was a beautiful day for a run. A medal, cupcake, and water was provided after the race.

The hike was 4.55 miles round trip. Moderate, with a mix of inclines and flat sections. The trail can be sandy and rocky in places, so wear good hiking footwear. It took about 3 hours round trip because we spent about 30 minutes enjoying the view up top. Make sure to bring water and some snacks to enjoy before hiking back down. Take lots of pictures too.
