Experience the trails of Cuyamaca from a whole new perspective! SDMBA is proud to present a rare opportunity to ride Cuyamaca at night. These are extremely popular events and space is limited. This is a specially permitted ride for INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED riders. Please arrive early enough to check in so we can depart promptly at 7:00 p.m. Total ride distance is approximately 20 miles.
LIGHTS AND PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED!
Location: Cuyamaca Rancho State Park - Loop ride from the Sweetwater Bridge staging area on Highway 79.
Mandatory Equipment:
1) Helmet
2) Freshly charged bike lights with a minimum four- hour capacity (A flashlight taped to your handlebar will NOT do). For those unable to provide their own lights, the folks at NiteRider have generously agreed to provide a limited number of demos, first come, first served, so register early.
3) Water
4) Extra inner tube, portable repair tools, portable first aid kit
Due to the inherent hazards of this ride, we will be checking that everyone has all the mandatory listed items.
Other suggested items:
1) Energy bars or drinks

3) Second back-up battery or two-light system
4) Small LED tail light
5) Small penlight or headlamp

Directions: From metro San Diego, take I-8 east approximately 40 miles and exit at Hwy 79 North. Follow Hwy 79 to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and go approximately 4.75 miles from I-8 to the large Sweetwater Bridge Staging Area on your right (the first turnout past Green Valley Campground). If you pass the School Camp (old park headquarters), you've gone too far.
Registration is limited to 40 people, so register now.

I sent an email a week ago to the above address regarding this event with no reply back.

Myself and a friend are interested if there are some demo lights still available?

I'm trying to get to all the RSVP’s by tonight, we are a little under staffed this week, most of the SDMBA gang is in Utah at the IMBA World Summit.

Got my confirmation email this morning, I'm in. Thanks to SDMBA for setting it up.

Looking forward to this ride.
