Prospect Park Moonlight Ride

[slvoid]

It's cold, it's dark, you might as well come out and cruise around!
Sat (2/10) 9pm at grand army plaza.

Might bring my slow fat self. Where on the Plaza, and what time?

[slvoid]

By the giant arch.

I'm eating ribs nearby earlier in the evening and I'm driving *gasp* :eek: cuz I'm going w/ friends. Bring your HID cuz it's freaking dark in that park. If I've digested enough and done socializing and can get there in time, I'll swing by.

Too bad I didn't even discover this forum until today. How was the ride? I think this would be a blast.

[slvoid]

Pretty good, slow and cold, but it was a nice ride at night too bad we didn't get to climb that huge hill that goes up to the look out at night, next time...

[superslomo]

Are you talking about the big wooded hill by the lake? What look out do you mean?

[slvoid]

Yeah that one.

Is it safe to do loops late at night there (after 11 or so?) Have a friend who was asking me.

I've done it, and I think from 9PM to 11PM is probably the safest time of the day. Most of the clueless wanderers have wandered home by then, leaving the road open with just a few riders and joggers.

If concerned, just suggest that he/she not to stop and hang out for a drink or a power bar. Ride in, Ride the laps, Ride out. No dilly dallying.

However, I went late saturday nite (around 10pm maybe), and all the lights were off so they could show a movie. Can't ride like that. End up nailing someone in the dark.
