Charles Darwin NP Night Ride

19/05/2024 by Shirley Donnelly

Friday 24th May ’24 DORC will hold a night ride in the Charles Darwin National Park. This ride will be starting from the front gate area. Please be there by 6:15pm for a 6:30pm start. The gates will be locked when the ride commences as this is a non-opening hours ride, so please park your vehicles outside the front gates. Don’t forget your bug spray to ward off any insects wanting to give you an enthusiastic welcome.

Night riders please ensure that you have good quality lights of at least 1000 lumens brightness and a battery that will power your lights for the duration of the ride. A helmet light is also great (if you have one) for riding the trails at night.

It is the responsibility of the rider to ensure that they have a current AusCycling Licence, this is to make sure we follow the AusCycling club and insurance requirements. If you are a non-member and would like to join us just follow the link and take advantage of the AusCycling four week free trial membership. click here. Non-members also have the choice to sign a waiver, in order to ride.

Location Charles Darwin National Park
Start Point Front gate entrance
Date Friday 24th April 2024
Time 6:15 pm for a 6:30 pm start

The ride will be at an easy pace and will be approx 1.5 hours in duration. There will be plenty of breaks to regroup and catch your breath on the way around.

You will need a mtb in good working order, an Australian Standards helmet, enclosed footwear, gloves, lights as mentioned above and a minimum of 2 litres of water will be required. Riders please be self-sufficient with water, spare tube, pump and tyre levers, etc.

Please see the ride leader (Geoff McCumstie) before the start of the ride if you have any questions or need a waiver to sign. Any questions before the ride can be emailed to: darwinoffroadcyclists@gmail.com  We look forward to seeing you there.
