The Painted Pony Resort hosted 2 Bicycle Tours again this year, both returning for another stay while they were cycling in the area. The first group through was Bubba's Pampered Peddlers on their yearly coast to coast tour, while the second group was from Lizard Head Cycling Guides. The group from Bubba's Pampered Peddlers comprised of about 50 riders with a support staff of about a dozen while the Lizard Head cycling tour was a smaller group of 13. While the coast to coast group was in and out, the Lizard Head group did a ride into the canyon and hiked the Silver Peak trail. With the designation of Highway 80 as part of US bike route 90 perhaps more bicyclists will take advantage and visit the area.
Just another sign of spring - when the migrating cyclists start showing up.
