Ok I've read all the posts and I have a couple of questions:

1) Santiago Oaks (next to Irvine Regional Park) is CLOSED to night riding?

2) If one were begin a ride at lets say Oaks and half way through the ride it began to get dark could one get a ticket from a park ranger upon exiting the trail even though you began riding while there was still light outside?

Just wanted to clarify my questions before I headed out and did anything stupid. Was thinking about riding Oaks today but I knew I read somewhere that it was illegal to night ride there.

Can we get a definite list on the legal night rides. I'm interested in night riding since I'm too lazy to wake up before 2pm to go ride anywhere, lol. And if anyone has any future night rides planned please post em up. Thanx

state and county parks close at sunset... it is usually up to the discretion of the ranger if they ticket or not. due to the recent problems in aliso and el moro, plan your ride to start AND end before sunset.
