What: Light and Motion night mountain bike training rides
Who: ALL skill and fitness levels (we will help everyone improve their skill and fitness level)
Why: Because we all need motivation to get out there and have some fun on our mtn bikes during busy weekdays
When: Every Thursday nights in the winter/Spring months. Meet at 7:15pm and ride starts at 7:30pm (the rides will happen irrespective of weather conditions)
Where: meet on the corner of San Vicente/26th in Brentwood (tons of free parking here) - This is our standard meeting place but we may change it from time to time so please check with me the week of the ride.
What to Bring: a helmet is a MUST so is a rear red light. In addition to these 2 items, make sure you bring a spare tube and a means to inflate (co2 cartridge or pump), tire levers, and a multitool. Also warm clothing is advised as it can get cold on the descents.

). These rides are open to ALL skill and fitness levels. We all need a little motivation getting out there during the colder winter months so what better than having others to ride with. These will be no drop rides which means that we’ll regroup along the route to make sure everyone finishes together. Depending on how many we are, we will split the group into speed levels. If you want to go fast, you can join the fast group but if you want to go slower you can just hang out and enjoy the night. We will have a “sweeper” at the back of the group at all times. A sweeper is an experienced rider who knows the route and will help anyone who needs help. Just feel confident that you can ride at your own pace. During the rides, we’ll gladly help anyone with training and technical tips.
nuun – portable electrolyte hydration. nuun samples will be available at all the rides.
Sportmulti –high potency and complete vitamin and mineral supplement for athletes. Product and discounts will be given out.
Feed The Machine – the best in endurance sports nutrition. Product and discounts will be given out.
Light and Motion - leader in high power, lightweight, LED bike lights. Without Light and Motion, there would be no night rides. To reserve your light, make sure you email me. Come enjoy the night, the Light and Motion way. Can you say, car headlight visibility!
Hydrapak – leader in personal hydration systems. Hydrapak is providing us with 5 and 8 oz flasks for your nutrition and hydration needs and Gel-Bots (amazing water bottles with a separate chamber for your gel so with one hand, you can either drink or take a gel). One will be given out at every ride. And, every month, we’ll give away one of their amazing hydration backpacks.
In addition, we’ll have other goodies on hand for people to try from other of our incredible sponsors. See our list of sponsors below and if you want to try anything or have any questions about their products, let me know.
The only thing that would prevent anyone from riding at night is not having the right lights. If that’s your situation, let me know and I’ll bring you a Light and Motion light. If you have your light already but want to try a different one, we’ll hook you up. Just make sure to email me before so we can plan accordingly. The rides will last anywhere from 1 1/2hr to 3 hours. In the first few weeks, they will be on the shorter side and as the season progresses , they will get longer. However, we’ll have bail out points for anyone who doesn’t want to ride as long.
Come on out and play!
