Durham Parks and Recreation will host a series of nighttime bike rides along the American Tobacco Trail through December. 

The rides will roughly correspond with the full moon in each month. Rides will take place on Sept. 21, Oct. 19, Nov. 16, and Dec. 14.

There are two starting times and locations for these events. Cyclists who wish to ride further can meet at 7:30 p.m. in front of Mellow Mushroom, 410 Blackwell St. A later group will start at 8:30 p.m. in front of Bean Traders Coffee Shop, 105 W. North Carolina 54. 

Participants will ride together along the American Tobacco Trail to the end of the pavement at New Hope Church Road, which is approximately 7.5 miles away from Bean Traders Coffee Shop. Riders are free to turn around at any point.

The total mileage for the trip is 30 miles for the group starting at 7:30 p.m., and 15 miles for the group starting at 8:30 p.m.

Helmets and lights are required for all riders.
