What a way to see Glen Blair Bar!
Join us at the Railbike Barn before sunset for an evening expedition unlike any other. You will meet your guides and mount up on our Railbikes that are specially equipped with an electric assist and LED lights to illuminate this magical experience. After a quick tutelage on how to use the electric assist, the group will leave the Railbike Station, meandering by the Pudding Creek Estuary and into the redwood forest towards Glen Blair Junction.
Glen Blair Bar will be in full swing. Sit and roast marshmallows by the fire, take a romantic stroll through the forest, or play a competitive game of cornhole.
Bikes will depart at 20 second intervals to ride back to the station. The moonlight as well as the LEDs will guide you home.
*This experience departs from the Railbike Barn on the corner of Pine and Laurel.
