About this Event
Explore the American Tobacco Trail under a full moon with the Full Moon Fever Bike Ride, hosted by Durham Parks and Recreation. There's no cost to participate, and you don't need to register. Depending on how far you want to ride, choose one of these two start locations and times.
7:30 p.m. - Early Start Time
The early start is at 7:30 p.m. in front of Mellow Mushroom (410 Blackwell Street) in downtown Durham. That group will ride down the American Tobacco Trail and meet up with the late group that meets at 8:30 p.m. in front of Bean Traders Coffee Shop.
8:30 p.m. - Late Start Time
The late group will meet at 8:30 p.m. in front of Bean Traders (105 W North Carolina 54) on Hwy 54 at Fayetteville Street.Both groups will ride together on the American Tobacco Trail to the end of the pavement at New Hope Church Road (7.5 miles one way from Bean Traders), and then turn around and head back towards Durham. Riders are free to turnaround at any point and head back towards Durham at any time or keep going past the end of the pavement to the end of the natural surface trail. Riding pace is up to each individual rider, but is typically very casual.
No riders will be dropped within the main group. Helmets and lights are required. The number of lights and the type of lights you have is up to you; however, the lights must be visible from at least several hundred feet from the front of the bike. You must also have lighting on the back of your bike.Rain or unsafe riding conditions cancels the ride.
