Magnetic Island Social Night Ride, Sat 12th Nov

Geoffrey_Bay_jetty_-_MI

Rockwheelers Night Creatures are very excited to bring you this exotic social ride. We're shuttling via ferry over to Magnetic Island and exploring some of its tracks and sites. All,

AT NIGHT!

These tracks are in our sights:
The Telstra track;
The Forts tracks; and
The dirt road out to West Point (maybe).

Distance will be about 20km of riding on tracks, dirt and bitumen roads. But the pace will be slow with plenty of stops to catch your breath, to have a chat, and to take a photo.

Leave your heart rate monitors at home; this is definitely not a training ride. Rather, if you have a sense of adventure and a set of off-road worthy riding lights please join Phil Mason and Greg Longson on this social ride.
