so where are the "legal" places to night ride? Don't tell me there aren't any...
... most of the east bay regional parks are open until 10 PM. There is a regular ride on Wednesday or Thursday or something with the Bikes Beers and Tacos crowd. Ask BikerScoutSparky or 105mmOfPleasure doing Joaquin Miller and Redwood loops.
Yeah, a ranger threatened me with a $350 fine when I got caught at China Camp... or more closely, my bud and I rolled out close to sundown with lights on our bikes. The Ranger talked to us back at our cars while packing out. Seems they cruise the parked cars and tag people when they roll back.
You know what? It stresses the rangers out thinking there are hikers lost or injured up in the hills, when there are cars out there past dark. The last thing they wanna do is go go look for hurt or dead bodies in the woods at night. Just don't, kay? ... not unless you start on the San Rafael side and ride over the ridge. We have a good relationship with the rangers at CC. I'd like to keep it that way
