Question Night Riding -

Why does it seem that OC goes to sleep @ 9pm. I night ride frequently and never really run into people. Where is everyone? I usually ride Old San Juan @ night and I have seen probably 2 people out there in the past year.

Is there any interest in starting some night rides on a ballsier (sp?) scale like San Juan, Holy Jim, Motorway, etc.

Luge and Old Camp are super played out...

We do San Juan, Holy Jim etc at night in the Fall and after DST. I also want to start doing the San Clemente Single Tracks at night.

We are riding the STT tomorrow for our first "night ride" of the season.

If we get enough rain this week, maybe it'll compact SJT enough to make it a option.

We can make sure the ride time (read moving time) exceeds the travel time to the trailhead.

I have only ridden San Juan at night, and it is AWESOME.

But as someone pointed out, being a single 24 year old makes things a lot easier

I can't bud. I meant to PM you. Last night I totally tweaked my shoulder after this guy riding in front of me cased it causing me to crash....Fell right on my arm....

I really appreciate you getting it all set up though!

Well, it seems as though some peeps are interested. I will post something for the week after next week so that we have enough time to plan...

The next question is, are you crazy enough to SS San Juan @ night!!!

I'd like to so San Clemente under a full moon. That would be awesome. Looks like the week of October 24-26 might be good as the moon is full and rising a few hours before sunset.

December 22 looks real good too. Almost ful moon and rises at 3:22pm

Dang that's a long way oof though.
