Greetings everyone

Just wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming Night Ride in Bommer Canyon.

Takes place on Thursday, July 6th, from 7:30 pm till 10:00 pm.

The ride is free, but registration is required. Just go to the web-site listed below and click on the "Let's Go Outside" tab, then sign-up online.

Here's the general information on the area.



Open Space Program Registration

On behalf of the City of Irvine, the Irvine Ranch Land Reserve Trust will be taking registration for the public programs offered in Irvine’s Open Space Preserve South beginning July 1st.

Irvine’s Open Space is made up of a mosaic of habitats including, wetlands, oak woodlands and coastal sage scrub, and houses some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. This scenic land provides both preservation of critically important plants and wildlife, as well as an area for recreation and respite.

A variety of programs including interpretive hikes, night hikes, mountain bike rides and self-guided access days are currently available. Programs are offered weekly and at no cost. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register visit www.IRLRTrust.org and click “Let’s Go Outside” or call (714) 508-IRLR.



See ya on the Trails.

The main difference is that the July 6th ride will definitely include more night riding and a longer route.

Also, the registration for this week's evening ride is still through the City of Irvine Community Services, so you need to call them at the number provided to pre-register for this Thursday's ride.

We try to start the programs right on-time, so we lock the gates to Bommer Canyon right at the start time listed for the event, and take-off as soon as the person who locked the gate get's back to the staging area.

This Thursday will also be a fun ride, so if you're interested, call the city and sign up. All the events have a limit to the number of participants, so register early.

See ya.
