Now that it's getting darker earlier, I would like to go for a ride after work. Are there any places where you can ride at night in Santa Cruz? It seems that most of the trails say that they are closed at dusk.
You are not kidding, either. I rode SC last night for the first time in years, and holy wow. The amount of ground-dwellers creeping in and out of the bushes in the darkness was unnerving.
I've never been stopped at Wilder or Nisene. I just make sure to park outside the parks and ride in. The stuff along Skyline's definitely patrolled, though. I had a ranger waiting at my car the only time I rode after dark up there. But I was friendly and he was friendly and I didn't even get a warning, much less a ticket. YMMV
Night-riding at UCSC upper campus seems to be popular. I've only done it in the context of commuting.
