I think there was a thread about this not to long ago.

You can hit the last part of pips hips, from the ladder drop to the bottom with the light from the car parking area. Some of the stuff on the phase one side is ridable if you have good eyesite. Also pump track and some of the stuff in that area gets a little light from the steet lights. It would be worth it if your in the area.

Yeah, I may have to stop by there on my way home Wed. night (7-8pm) to rally on the lower half of Pip's Hips. It's tricky thru there the first couple/few times, but once your eyes adjust to the light...all night!!!

Or, do what a group of riders did a few months back. Grab a half-dozen-or-so flashlights and aim them at the lips of the jumps.

we rode there the other evening until it got dark. most of the place is unrideable when it gets dark...... but a helmet light/bike light might help with that.

If you ride over by the parking lot on Pip's Hips you are good for several hours after dark. No need for lights. And watch out for the homeless folk. When do you plan on riding there cause I might be game to join y'alls?
