Tour De Summerlin
If the saddle is more your style, the annual Tour de Summerlin should do the trick. Benefitting Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada (www.candlelightersnv.org) this non-competitive 40, 75 or 100-mile ride is one of the most beautiful around.
If you’re a little nervous at the thought of a 40-mile ride, joining the Riders for Candlelighters cycling team is your way to train with the experts! The training program is designed for individuals interested in completing an endurance event, no experience required. Participants commit to raising $1,000 for Candlelighters in exchange for a customized training program, which includes a training manual, bike repair, nutrition and hydration clinics, weekly team rides, a team pasta dinner and team jersey. Visit www.candlelightersnv.org for more information.
An entry fee starting at $65 for early registration includes an event commemorative shirt, aid station food and drinks and delicious post ride luncheon. Visit www.tourdesummerlin.com for more information.
