Are you ready for the most fun since you took off your training wheels? Can you ride a bike? Can you shoot a pistol? Do you want to ride a bike and shoot a pistol? If yes, then you're at the right place... the place for a bike-N-shoot race.

move it to the SF bay area and I'll be there :)
once I find out if my knee is up for biking, I think I'm going to try and host a similar contest in the area.

Having participated in two of these Bike'n'Shoots, I can confirm that they are great fun. :)
 
This would probably make a good winter biathlon, down in Vegas. When I was there, Summer was just too hot for almost anything. There's some good venue areas SE of town toward the Sunrise racetrack or Vegas Wash, too.
