Hey Guys,
I will be guiding night rides again this year for RAMBO-SORBA and the City of Roswell at the Big Creek Trail System. Reference below for times and sign up info. Rates will vary based on if you are a Roswell resident or not and on how many rides that you plan on attending. The good news is that by taking part in these rides we are having fun and reinvesting in our trail. All money raised goes directly towards improving and expanding our riding options at Big Creek.
Look forward to seeing everybody at the trail.
Cheers,
DubFresh
Welcome Back for Season #4 for Winter 2009-10 “Night Riding in Roswell”
When the Daylight Saving Time changes on Sunday November 1st, 2009, will you lose your weekday ride due to early darkness? Have no fear RAMBO is here! (along with City Of Roswell Parks and Recreation Dept!). Standard park policy is that Big Creek Park closes at dark and there is no Night riding, at all….Unless you register for the City’s “Night Riding Program”. The program is run by RAMBO and the club arrives early (all rides are “RTR” or “ready to ride” at 7pm sharp), get all people signed-in, and confirm registration, provide ride leaders and sweepers, Bike Patrol, and provide general support of the program on-site. This winter the 20 scheduled rides are as follows:

(*) Extra instructors and ride leaders provided for 1st time or “newbie” night riders. Please arrive 1/2Hr early for gear check and quick info session and assigning of guides.
There are (4) Options offered for the registration in this City if Roswell Program. City of Roswell residents (address will verified in on-line registration process) fee is the 1st price listed and second fee is non-residents.
Option #1 ($30/$45): All rides
The “entire season” package, our most popular option; this is for every single ride, for entire winter series, we encourage this option as this is a Fund Raiser for the all volunteer bike club. For rained out rides we will typically reschedule the ride and post on RAMBO website and SORBA forums
Option #2 ($20/$30): 10 rides
This is for “10 pack”, you can attend any 10 rides of the 20 listed ride dates, do them all in row, all at beginning of winter or maybe just attend rides when temperatures are below freezing!
Option #3 ($10/$15): 4 rides
This is for “4 pack”, you can attend any 4 rides of the 20 listed ride dates, do 1 ride per month, all in row or maybe just attend some rides when temperatures are above 50 degrees!
Option #4 ($4/$6): 1 ride
This is for a single ride, 1 night only out of the 20 listed ride dates. Not the most cost efficient option but non-the less it was used last winter. The more the merrier so come on out. If you are using this option to just “try out this night riding stuff”, please let the instructors/ride leaders know and we can assist/guide you, especially if your 1st time riding at Night.
PLEASE NOTE: you can NOT arrive at trail and pay for the program, it must be done on-line or in person at City Hall. You CAN register up to within 1 hour of the start of the ride. This will allow city to notify the Ride Instructors of the additional name(s) being registered, in time. If you are not registered, you cannot ride at Night. We highly recommend you bring your on-line confirmation printout to the 1st ride you attend (just makes life easier for us). THANKS!
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: (in addition to Helmet) is Light for front direction and “red blinky” light for your backside. Highly suggested equipment is: Extra battery for your lighting system, extra layers of clothes for those real cold nights.
