Night Rides
If you are already an experienced mountain bike rider and you're looking for challenging or very technical riding - this is it. We have three Thursday groups at present all through the year. The night riding groups are named after the strength of curry to denote the level of the group.
Korma
Location: Winchester
Ride Time: Tuesdays at 6.30pm
Duration: Around 2 hours riding and distance around 10 – 15 miles.
Tikka Massala
Location: Winchester and surrounding area.
Ride Time: Thursdays at 6.30pm
Duration: Around 2.5 hours riding and distance around 15 – 20 miles (depending on conditions).
Madras
Location: Winchester and surrounding area.
Ride Time: Thursdays at 7.00pm
Duration: Around 3 – 3.5 hours riding and distance around 20 - 30 miles (depending on conditions)
Night rides extend well into the dark hours, and you will need lights suitable for off-road use which will last for the duration of the ride (plus a bit for mechanicals / getting lost). A good guide is to see if you can see detail on the ground about 15ft (3m) in front of your bike. Typical commuting lights won't get you past the car park!
Please see the forum for further details regarding the start time and location for night rides.
