The British Cycling Night Leader Award is aimed at British Cycling (including SMBLA) accredited mountain bike leaders, with substantial night riding experience looking to lead groups after sundown. Leaders retain their ability to lead in the same conditions as their primary mountain bike leadership award, extending their capacity to lead beyond the hours of daylight.
