Grab your bike, a light and hit the trails at night! Join us for a mountain bike ride through a different St. Charles County Park (SCCP) each month! Rides are open to experienced cyclists. Riders must wear a helmet and have a 600 lumen light to experience park trails after hours.  

 

Rides are scheduled on Friday nights from April through December.  GORC and SLAMB volunteers partner to manage these rides.  Registration with SCCP is optional but signing in and out at the trailhead is mandatory.  No glass bottles are allowed in the parks at any of these events.  In case of questionable weather/trail conditions, check the SCCP trail program hotline.  Hotline info and trailhead locations are listed below.

In case of bad weather: The St. Charles County Parks & Recreation Programs & Events  hotline, 636-707-0011 Extension #3 will be the Official source of information in cases of bad weather/iffy trail conditions. This status MAY CONFLICT WITH THE individual trail HOTLINE status (also 636-707-0011). (We may open a trail that's been closed all day if it dries enough for the MOONLIGHT RIDE to take place.)  We will TRY to post night ride status here as well, but don't rely on it as your sole source of info.
