arabsandals Posted January 20, 2016 Share What time do they close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Pirate Posted January 20, 2016 Share When Elvis leaves the building We normally close the trail entry gate on our way home at about 21h30 after a beer and a pizza at the clubhouse. If you are still on the trail, no problem, you can exit without a tag or gate code. Look forward to having you come and ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Denner Posted January 24, 2016 Share Correct me if I'm wrong, and this might sound like a very stupid question. I'm assuming that in order to do this event you must have a light on your bike? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Pirate Posted January 24, 2016 Share Preferably. But on a clear summer night if you get cracking before 18h00, you can complete a lap.Otherwise you can ride the green route and finish comfortably in daylight.The Strava monkeys complete the red route in just under an hour. Us mere mortals take about 75 minutes.Come along, if only for a short ride and see why you NEED to buy light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
