Alafia Night Rides
« on: November 30, 2010, 03:06:48 PM »

I'm "thinking" about starting the night rides at Alafia again 8) . The last time we did it, turnout was great in the beginning but slowed down to almost nothing and we stopped doing them. If I start the night rides again, how many would be intrested??
We will probably start at 7:30 so Erik and I can both make it and it gives those who have a longer drive time to make it.
  Just let me know what you think. If you need lights we will have some at the shop for a great price, we may have a few rentals too.

I was wondering if you were gonna start doing these again. I'll make as many as I can for sure.

I would be in for 1 or 2 per month.. maybe if you just held them 2 times a month it may get more action... would it be extra cost or just the same $4 or $5?

Insane is riding Jimmy Cotton's trails at night. Everything else is just slightly crazy. 8)

Do you have a set of lights that you recommend?  I probably just need one for my helmet, I had to borrow someone's last time I rode at night  :)

Since Art is no longer going to be Trail Boss of Alafia and the time change, I seriously doubt these are going to happen now. I guess we will have to settle for the FTF weekend only....

Any chance someone outside of a trail boss who is just a member could organize/take over???


I would be more than happy (honored!!!) to take on this challenge and make it possible for everyone.


Do you mind if I call Darrin to talk about this Art?


The later time frame works perfect for my schedule and a lot of people who work late.
