Christmas Lights Ride
Details
Hi all,
If you haven't done this ride it is a beauty. There is a 43 year old contest for best Christmas lights in Hidden valley. This ride goes around this area with cameras ready to capture some of the pretty amazing light displays.
The weather reports have been highly variable and predict snow and rain and pretty cold temperatures. I have chosen Tuesday the 30th because it is a bit warmer than other days and is predicted to have no rain. The date of the ride might move up a couple days depending upon weather reports. I will make anybody RSVPd to the ride aware of this as soon as possible.
You will need a light for the front and a tail light. We start at 7pm near the Sprinkles Donut shop at the Southeast corner of McCarran and Mira Loma. This is only a 12 mile ride but I'm sure it will seem a bit longer as we will likely stop to take pictures of some of the displays.
