Here’s what’s happening in Pahrump
Pahrump Valley Cyclists, the new bicycling group based in Pahrump, invites you to take a spin with them. Rides are scheduled each Thursday and Sunday morning, with detailed routes mapped by experienced cyclist Wesley Jacobson. “Our club is a social group interested in fitness and just having fun on the bike.”
The goal is to connect cyclists, allowing them the opportunity to get together and enjoy group rides in Pahrump and neighboring communities. Riders of all levels, ages and gender are welcome to join. Rides can be altered to accommodate cyclists from beginner to experienced. They currently have a diverse group of 71 members, and anywhere from four to six show up for any given ride.
Rides begin at 9 a.m. and are usually completed by 10:30 a.m. The Sunday tours originate from and return to Pahrump Valley High School, and the Thursday rides begin and end at Ian Deutch Memorial Park on Honeysuckle near Dandelion. The pace varies depending on who shows up to ride.
“The important thing,” says Jacobson, “is no one, not even the slowest rider, will be left riding alone.” The group is looking for new riders to join them, so come on out and enjoy the fun. Reach out to Wesley on the Pahrump Valley Cyclists Facebook page, or simply show up around 8:45 a.m. at PV High on Sunday, or Deutch Park on Thursday morning. — Faye Burdzinski
