Meet at 7pm at the bottom of Cypress. Everyone is welcome to join! (assuming you're comfortable riding 5th Horseman at night…)

6th on 5th?

Technically I think this is the 4th year on 5th. One year we did Seymour, and another year we rode something else on Cypress with daylight.

6th year for this organized ride.

He'd easily keep up, likely out ride most. I bet he'd have a great time and enjoy himself, I also suspect if he tried to make a video edit of the ride on his mid travel 29'er trying to look all hipster and smooth it would still look awkward.

Reasonably well played for an AT'r. You probably ride clipless.

All clipless all the time baby.

*except for my commute to work, but it's 24 blocks down Lonsdale, no cycling garb needed.

Want to do a pre-ride again this year? :) Since last year's Halloween ride marks the last time I rode Cypress, I think I may need it!

Thanks for organizing again Chris. Really hoping this year isn't as scary as last….

Awesome ride last night with a great group. For those of you who bailed because of the weather I can tell you that the conditions on the mountain were great with little to no rain during the ride. Suckas!

you can always make more money but you can never make more time.

I think it's called work for a reason. Or else they probably would have called it fun-time at the fun factory.

If I had a light pointing the right way, I'd have been there too :(

It was a great ride!,Took buddy down for his first shore ride,and night ride,he did 85 % of the fifth for his first time,the ledges of doom were a piece of cake,love how the water just flows down those steps. At night they seem so easy, cause you don't see the cliffs you will fly off if you muck it up! Next year lets do a harder trail! Wild Cherry?

So there were a bunch of riders dressed up for a night ride and no one snapped a pix?
