Wednesday Night Lights
Wednesday Night Lights
This ride is postponed until the weather is more conducive to enjoyable night riding. We’ll let you know when it’s back on the calendar!
Every Wednesday evening during cyclocross season we head out on our cross bikes for a night ride down the bike path, Battle path, and the Bedford railroad for some headlight battery draining fun. You are welcome to bring your mountain bike if you’d rather. Riding a road bike might be a bit difficult. Hope to see you on Wednesday nights!
Make sure you bring lights that provide a total of at least 1,000 lumens. And that are charged for a ride lasting 2 hours. Don’t forget, you have to get home after the ride, too.

What to bring:
- Items that too often seem to get left at home:
- Helmet
- Riding shoes
- I.D.
- Appropriate clothes for changing temperatures. The difference between the beginning of the ride and end of the ride can be 10-15 degrees. Be prepared.
- Tool kit including at least one appropriate tube. A good toolkit includes: at least one tube, two tire levers, CO2 cartridge or frame pump, CO2 inflator, patch kit, and multi-tool that includes the basic five tools. While we won’t leave you behind if you get a flat or mechanical, it is good form to have the tools with you.
Don’t forget that if you’d like any mechanical help, or service of any kind before the ride, send us an email and we’ll gladly be at the Studio early to help with anything you need on the fly.
Waiver: RSC requires a signed waiver before your first ride. We will have waivers at the Studio for you to complete and sign, and you can review a copy of our waiver here.
Parking: If you’re driving to participate in the ride, make sure that you do not park in the Lemon Grass restaurant parking lot; you will get towed. Fortunately, there is a ton of parking in the area–and it is really inexpensive.
By the way, here’s where you can find our comprehensive list of weekly rides.
We hope to see you there–or somewhere out on the road.
