About this event
This awesome ride is back in action. It’s still a ride from DC out to the parks and to the leafy green streets of Montgomery Co - no car needed, with some new added perks since cycling is only as enjoyable as the coffee and tailgating.
As always, the route features loops with lots of rolling hills and a few lung-inhaling climbs. This month includes MacArthur, Mountain Gate, Potomac, Spring Mill Bread (Rest Stop #1), South Germantown/Berryville Loop, Seven Locks Strip Mall (Rest Stop #2), and Beach Drive. The ride finishes at Don Juan - a chill restaurant with outdoor picnic tables, cheap beer, and near-endless combinations of tortilla, cheese, meat, or vegetables.
While we look forward to the joys of spinning harmoniously and consciously in pace lines, we are recreational riders and not racers, so we’re prioritizing socializing before and after the ride itself. We encourage all to arrive early before the prompt 9:30 AM ride start to enjoy coffee and a pastry and then join us for a post-ride nosh afterwards.
This is a no drop ride, but please download the route.
