Twilight, the period between sunrise and sunset when the atmosphere is partially illuminated by the sun, is divided into three phases: civil, nautical, and astronomical. Each phase is defined by how far the sun's geometric center is below the horizon. Nautical twilight is a period of twilight that occurs when the sun's center is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. During this time, the horizon is still visible, and sailors can still use stars for navigation. It's a transition period between civil twilight and astronomical twilight, marking the beginning of true night or the end of day.

All riders are strongly encouraged to wear helmets. Inflate your tires to the recommended PSI. You may want to bring a tire pump, spare tube, bike tools, water, swimsuit and towel. Bikes should have front white light and rear red light and reflectors for night time riding. Don't forget when checking your tires to readjust your seat height in order to get your best leg extension while riding.
