It’s a full moon this Saturday night and the best time for a night ride so hook up your night lights, fire up the FBO blinkie and join FBO for a guided night ride on the Flagstaff Urban Trail System this Saturday night. We’ll meet at 10pm at the Pay-n-Take Market and make our way up to Buffalo Park. The ride will be slow and casual.
