MORCA Night Ride

What: No drop, night ride with beginner, intermediate and advanced groups as attendance permits.  MORCA membership includes night riding.  Non members can still ride but will be charged a $10 fee to cover insurance and permit cost (this is a Fort Ord National Monument Permitted ride).  

Where: We’ll be meeting at 8th and G and plan to roll at 6 PM so arrive early (5:30 PM) to get geared up. Map of 8th and Gigling…

NOTE: You should have some mountain bike riding experience and must be self-supported with properly functioning equipment and bring adequate lighting systems to join the ride. You must have at least one light of 1000 lumens or greater. Most night riders have 2, one on the bars and one on the helmet. 

Rides will be approximately 1.5-2 hours and No Drop (no one will be left behind) and will be led by an experienced member of MORCA.

If enough people show up, we’ll divide into the following groups. Otherwise, it’s one no-drop group for about 1.5-2hrs. 

==Beginner – Have done some riding and can ride continuously for an hour or more at an easy pace (6 – 10 miles with regular stops).  May need to walk technical trail features.

==Intermediate – Have experience riding with groups and can ride continuously for 1.5 to 2 hours at a moderate pace (10-15 miles with some stops).  May need some pointers to ride technical trail features.

==Advanced – Experienced riding alone and with groups on a variety of trails and can ride continuously for 2.5+ hours at a faster pace (15 – 25 miles with few stops).  Can comfortably ride all technical trail features.

Bring a food or beverage to share and we’ll tailgate after in the parking lot.

Rain in the previous 24 hours may cancel. Be sure to check the MORCA Facebook Group and website for weather status updates.
