Inland Empire Night Ride - Vail Lake

[lukewiens]

Since Racers & Chasers fired up out at Vail Lake, new singletrack is being cut all over the place....and I know the way.

Come join me for a night ride on Thursday night meeting at 6pm...leaving at 6:10.

The ride will go till approx. 8 pm....so about an hour in the light and an hour in the dark.

Moderate pace....I need one RSVP or I will not show.

Meet past the waterslides in the back campground.

Thanks.

i am thinking about 10 miles (one loop of the last 12 hour course) before dark. then we will regroup around 7'ish.

after that i figure we can do a lap of the last Racers and Chasers which i believe is around 7-8 or so. once it gets dark the no drop rule will be in affect fo sho.

no prob at all...the loop ends back at the parking lot.

vail lake is located off of 79 south about 5 miles east of temecula. you can't miss it.

Im in but bailing out after the first loop.

Damn, I would love to however, 6:00 is to early for me to get down that way.....

Cheers,

C.K.

Not tonight, but hopefully soon we'll start doing these 1-2 a week. I need more XC training!

We'll be starting more like 5:30 though I think

lukeweins, thanks for setting this ride, i got the chance to see more of this awesome trail. That Dam climb kick my behind really good. I have no preview of this trail and no idea what to expect so everything is a surprise.

to lukeweins, ray m and Keith, you guys are like super humans, im telling you.

Overall, i have a blast will be joining you for more. All the climbs are worth it.
