July 2, 2022. 7:45 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.

Join us for a sunset/dark sky bike ride on High Bridge Trail. This ranger and volunteer-guided bike ride to High Bridge will begin at Main Street across from the Downtown Plaza and caboose, next to The Outdoor Adventure Store. Total distance out and back for the sunset ride is approximately 10 miles. When we return to Main Street after sunset, if anyone wishes to continue the ride on the moonlit trail, we will continue westward from town. The moon on this night will be a waxing crescent with 10% illumination. A handlebar and/or helmet light is required as the return trip will be dark. Please dress accordingly for the weather. This will be a relaxed-pace, no-drop ride, so cyclists of all abilities are welcome to participate.

If you want to join but don't have a bicycle, rentals will be available by advance reservation only through The Outdoor Adventure Store in Farmville (434-315-5736). Reservations must be made no later than close of business on July 1st. For more information, contact High Bridge Trail State Park.
