Riders were keen to get right into the lighting mood and also in colourful costumes for the annual Light the Trail night ride on the O’Keefe Rail Trail.
Riding from Axedale to Heathcote after sunset, it was not only the necessary front and rear bike lights that were shining, as some riders added light decorations to their bikes, towed trailers and the like!
The rider enthusiasm was infectious, including an attached mobile music machine! This event attracted 70 riders, showing off the benefits of the rail trail at night under perfect weather conditions.
Being part of the O’Keefe Challenge Marathon weekend’s events, this ride ended at Palling Bros Brewery, Heathcote. The ride event’s success is attributed to the planning and staffing by volunteers, assisted by an enthusiastic ‘Commissaire’ Judy McLaren. Well done to everyone who participated!
