Itinerary:

The plan is to do 1.5 to 2 hours of riding, with ~ half in the dark, so you need to have night riding lights.

Preferred lighs are a 900 lumen handlebar lamp and 700 lumen helmet mounted lamp. As a minimum you must have at least a 10-watt or 250 lumen handlebar lamp, along with a helmet mounted lamp. An inexpensive headlamp is not sufficient to light the trail.

This event is for experienced riders due to the pace and hills. We will be doing lots of hills up and down.

Required Items to Bring:
- Mountain Bike, well maintained
- Helmet
- Bell
- Tool kit and spare tube
- Water
- Snacks
- Good lights-at least 10 watts or 250 lumens
- Batteries good for 2+ hours
- Layered clothing for cold temperatures

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- Personal first aid kit
- Camera
