About the ride

The shortest night of the year invites us to roll into astronomical summer! Earth's tilt tips at 1:42AM Sunday. Let's celebrate the upper apex of our sun's path by rolling from sunset to sunrise. Route details may change! Working plan is ~65mi with sub 2k climb. Caution: contain "funny business," i.e. trail/gravel, non bike routes, and potential overgrown and/or hike-a-bike sections. We have ALL NIGHT, i.e. around 9h ride duration (~6h saddle time/~3h breaks). 10-15mph (depending on segment). Solstice rides cover ground, are adventurous, test gear and challenge rider endurance! Take this as you will. Expect the unexpected. Pace is swift but with stops and regroups.This is a long format ride so drops are probable. You are the best judge of your abilities, energy and comfort level. If you need to bail, we'll help you get your bearings. Otherwise, expect to stick with the group until the sun comes up! We will stop for mechanicals and can assist. Come prepared! Layers (consider cool temps and overgrown paths), lights, charging packs, food, water, bug spray are clever. Bring what you need but pack light. At least one proper store stop and one 24/7. Leave no trace. Ready your bikes for the upcoming season (check your breaks/tires/lube chains)! Look for long format day rides quarterly for all seasonal shifts. ->Fall Equinox->Winter Solstice->Spring Equinox-> Feel free to reach out with questions.
