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.
