Can you give more information about this? Are the riders going to stay over and ride the next day? Is the area lighted to ride at night? How long will the speaker speak?

The speakers usually talk about 45 minutes to an hour. The trailer parking area has some lighting. The trail is well lit by the moon, except where it goes under heavy trees in spots. No one has really had problems riding the trail at night. Several people do it all the time. There is camping available at East Folk. The ride will start at Brockdale which is a 10 miles ride from East Fork or a 10 minute drive. If you want to stay over night at Brockdale, arrangment might could be made. There are no hook ups there. Here is a link to the eastfork camping: http://www.trinitytrailriders.org/Eastfork%20Campground.htm There is a yahoo group for TTPA now if you'd like to join: Trinity_Trail
