Night-Ride Regulations

(revised 2/2009)

Definition A TCBC Night Ride is a ride wherein any portion of which occurs after sunset or before sunrise.
Pace Night Rides are to be at a leisurely “C” (10mph avg. speed) or “B” (14mph avg. speed) pace. Ride leaders are responsible for ensuring that the riders stay together as a group.
Nature Night Rides are intended to be social in nature; therefore they should be mapless. Maps would be acceptable for portions of the ride that occur before sunset or after sunrise.
Range The maximum distance to be ridden on a Night Ride is 25 miles.
Lighting Each bicycle operated on a Night Ride must be equipped with an operating headlight and taillight. All lights must meet minimum Minnesota statutory requirements. Since most Night Rides use trails extensively, bright headlights are essential.
Leaders Two leaders (one front and one rear) are required on all Night Rides.
Designation Night Rides are to be identified in the Event Schedule with either an “N-C” or an “N-B” designation.
