LIGHT IT UP – FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS WITH WHEELS UP | FALL NIGHT RIDE SERIES
The lights are coming back to Bluff View this fall!
After an awesome response to our Light It Up rides, Wheels Up is bringing the lights back for three Friday nights this fall for a completely different way to experience the trails.
📍 Bluff View Park | Wildwood, MO – https://goo.gl/maps/GKGoFYTVtQfZDSyz9
📅 FALL 2026 DATES
Friday, September 11 7PM-9:30PM
Friday, October 9 7PM-9:30PM
Friday, November 13 7PM-9:30PM
We’ll be lighting up portions of the upper Bluff View trail system, including:
💡 Formula One
💡 GHP
💡 Rooster
💡 Pump Track
💡 WHAT IS LIGHT IT UP?
This is a community night ride—not a race and not a coaching clinic.
Wheels Up brings out our lighting system and transforms portions of the trail network into a unique nighttime riding experience.
Ride some laps. Hang out with other riders. Bring the kids. Bring your riding buddies. Come for an hour or stay for the evening.
The goal is simple:
Ride bikes. Have fun. Build community. Support our local trails and youth riders.
🚲 WHO CAN COME?
Everyone!
This is NOT just a Wheels Up team event and it is not just for kids.
Youth riders, adults, families, Wheels Up riders, local racers, weekend warriors—come out and ride!
Riders should be comfortable riding the trails they choose and always ride within their own ability level.
💲 $10 MINIMUM DONATION
A $10 minimum donation per rider helps make these events possible while supporting our local mountain bike community.
A portion of proceeds from each Light It Up event will go toward supporting GORC and the Bluff View Trail Network, and Wheels Up Academy youth rider scholarships.
Additional donations are always greatly appreciated!
You can pre-register and donate online, or contribute via Venmo or cash at the event.
👉 PRE-REGISTRATION is welcomed! Max Rider amount is 80 per night.

⚠️ NIGHT RIDING REMINDERS
Night riding is AWESOME—but it’s also different.
Please remember:
• Helmets are required at all times.
• This is a community ride and not a coached or instructional event.
• Riders participate at their own risk and must follow all park and trail rules.
• Visibility will vary throughout the course.
• Expect shadows, bright areas, darker transitions, and changing light conditions.
• Pre-ride sections before riding them at speed.
• Ride within your limits and make smart decisions.
• Younger riders should have appropriate adult supervision! Parents stay on site, not a drop off event!
Even with the trails illuminated, having your own bike light or helmet light is highly recommended for other trails and in the non lit up areas. There is something pretty special about seeing an entire section of trail come alive after dark, and we’re excited to do it again this fall.
Come ride some bikes, hang out with the MTB community, and help us support the trails and riders that make our local mountain bike scene so much fun.
Let’s LIGHT UP Bluff View!
