MTB night rides around Zurich.

Hello!

I just fixed my bike and I am ready for ride it. But this weather...

Ok, today i want to make a night tour around Zurichberg with my mtb to remember my mtb nights in Germany(Really greats ones)

I don't know if anyone want to join
me this evening.

We can meet each others at 21:30h.(is dark enought??) in the upper stop of the Seihlbahn Rigiblick and ride a 1'30h tour around Zuriberg.

Of course, some lights are needed

Any night rider in the forum to have fun???

Re: MTB night rides around Zurich.

I'd be well on for this, except my lights aren't charged, and I'll be riding in Filzbach this afternoon.

If you fancy joining us in Filzbach instead let me know, if not then we can maybe do a night ride some other time.

There are a few of us who do night rides on occasion in the Zurich area. Not so much these days when the evenings are bright though.

Re: MTB night rides around Zurich.

It is friday, can we bring beer. Actually scrap that because you are not allowed to ride a bike when you have had a drink, so i will have to give it a miss sorry, but enjoy your bike ride in this beautiful weather

yes but then you would have to leave your bike there because you are not allowed to drink, and ride your bike

Re: MTB night rides around Zurich.

Same problem as Eire I'm afraid. Lights not charged. Though probably wouldn't have been able to make tonight anyway. 21:30 on a Friday is definitely beer o'clock.

Re: MTB night rides around Zurich.

Its a pretty good idea though, I have been a bit reluctant to organise something like this though as it has a bit more potential for accidents for those uninitiated !

Why not come next Tuesday, and we can maybe arrange a time to go for a night ride as a group.

Keep an eye on the calendar. There are regular rides on Tuesday evenings. These are early enough that you don't need powerful lights. Just something for getting home after the ride.
