Head off into the twilight and ride together under dark skies on the gravel roads, paths and tracks in the North York Moors.

There’s a bit of irony in blasting around an area known for its lack of light pollution at night with a load of others , all using 2000 lumen mega lights!

Looks great that, i'm gonna consult the calendar. Havent done any night riding for years which is appalling

I wonder if they'll use a similar route to the Top-of-the-rock, 67km sounds familiar.

If so, be very wary of the fact that right at the end of the ride you may find yourself very close to Sutton Bank centre.... but very much a lower altitude. Its a slog back up the top when your 64 our of 67km down!
