The Night Riding Module is an additional module for qualified TCL and MBL leaders to enable them to work in conditions outside the 'daytime' only remit of their award. It will allow a TCL holder to work in 'night time' conditions but they must still operate under 600m in height and no more than 30 minutes from help. An MBL will be able to lead on more technically difficult and remote terrain.

Pre- Entry to Night Riding Training
Candidates must hold a valid TCL or MBL award, be a current member of either Scottish or British Cycling and hold a relevant First Aid qualification. They should also have logbook experience of 4 Off-Road Night Rides, 2 of which should be on terrain relevant to the level of award held (TCL or MBL).
Candidates will be expected to attend the course adequately prepared to lead a Night Ride. Lights will not be supplied but we can offer advice before the course as to the choice of lights available. Contact Us.
The course will consist of a 7 hour training course with at least 50% delivered in night time condidtions. For the module to become valid a candidate must go on to complete a 3 hour assessment which will be undertaken completely in the dark.

Trailside Repairs in the Dark / Night Navigation / Clothing and Equipment / Dealing with Emergencies / Group Control / Bike Lights / Bike Preparation and Planning.
At the end of the training course candidates will be given details of the assessment to familiarise themselves with the planned route.
