Beatty's hours

When does the gate close at Beatty?  I am particularly interested in today, March 1st.  I imagine that rides can be done or finished after sunset as long as the park is open.  The Park & Rec site does not show hours.  Thanks!

There used to be a sign "park closed at sunset".  Also believe night riding no longer permitted.  Getting locked in the park is no fun.

Best bet if getting a late start - park by John's Place across the street and pedal in / out.  Grab a beer @ John's, and maybe some garlic knots!

Well, here's to hoping WWC opens before my workday ends.  If it does, I will just go there.  The bike is loaded up and hoping will come home dirty.  It got a long overdue bath after its last ride.

Wishful thinking on WWC.  Anyone know last time it was actually open?

Was open last Thursday.  Few wet spots, nothing horrible.

I did ride Beatty yesterday, and it had been a long time since I was last there.  When did the section behind the dam stop being the "Enchantment Forest" or something else along these lines?

The anti-woke crowd protested because they said it sounded too Disney like. So it was removed.  Wink
