The Tuesday MTB night ride is a social paced, no drop ride so lets stay together and have a fun safe time. Be sure to have a light capable of lighting a dark trail and lasting at least 2.5 hours and bring a spare tube & pump at a minimum. After we ride we will hit Ladyface Brewery to aid in recovery.
