    34 miles, 1800 feet elevation. Suitable for Intermediate and Advanced Riders. Gently rolling hills with a few good climbs.

     

    We found that the best way to do this route is to include a brewery! This ride will explore the far reaches of Montgomery County's farmland and green space and take us into Howard County’s preserved farmland. The route is on gently rolling hills and mostly low-traffic roads with a few climbs for good measure. This ride has fantastic scenery and beautiful vistas of big open sky, farms and orchards. We begin and end at Waredaca Brewing Company where we’ll relax outside and enjoy the refreshments after the ride.

    After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location.

    There is limited space, so please register early. Although this ride is FREE for Members, you do need to register.

    The Board of Directors is the governing body of WWO with the responsibility of overseeing all activities.  WWO members are invited to join the meeting.

     

    Board members meet quarterly to discuss policy and to focus on the mission, strategy and goals of WWO in an effort to better serve our members and trip participants. These quarterly-scheduled meetings are open to WWO members and we encourage members to participate!  We invite you to come observe our meetings, particularly if you have always wanted to get more involved with WWO but didn't know where to start.

    The meeting will be held on Zoom.  You need to register to receive meeting instructions.  Only registered WWO members can join the meeting, and we ask that you not share the meeting link with others.

    35 miles on flat roads and bike trail. For advanced beginners (who can ride the distance) and above. Suitable for all types of bikes.


    One of our most popular rides! Kent Island is the largest island in the Chesapeake Bay and was the location of the first European settlement in Maryland. From its earliest inhabitants (Matapeake Indians) to its present-day status as the gateway to the Eastern Shore, Kent Island has played a vital role in the history of Maryland.

    Join WWO for a stunning ride on Kent Island. We will travel on the paved bike path that traverses the island, detouring to see neighborhoods, many beautiful water views, a community fishing pier, and a lighthouse. There are multiple stops to admire the views.  Moderate social pace, with a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.

    After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location.

    There is limited space, so please register early. Although this ride is FREE for Members, you do need to register.

    19 miles mostly on closed roads and paved trails with a few short, steep climbs on residential streets. Suitable for advanced beginners and above on road or hybrid bikes


    What a fun ride! (This is a weekday ride but we will also offer this ride on a weekend in early December.) Leaving from Bethesda, we will travel on residential roads, bicycle trails and the now permanently closed-to-traffic roads of Rock Creek Park to arrive at the National Zoo. Once there, we will receive a special tour by our ride leader who also volunteers at the zoo and will provide us with the inside scoop on zoo residents and conservation efforts. We’ll have lunch at the zoo and warm up before heading back to Bethesda along the Capital Crescent Trail. As with all our rides, we will have a leader and sweep, and no one will be left behind.

    After completing registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location.

    There is limited space, so please register early. Although this ride is FREE for  Members, you do need to register.

    27 miles, 1800 feet of elevation, with 75% gravel road surface. This is a more advanced gravel ride, with a number of sharp climbs, but overall quiet rural gravel roads. For intermediate and advanced riders.


    We’ll pass by beautiful farms, creeks and forests, and fantastic old stone walls as we roll through northern Fauquier County, starting in The Plains. We’ll skirt Middleburg but not actually pass through to keep on the quiet gravel roads. 

    This is a no- drop ride, with a leader and a sweep and no one will be left behind.

    After completing your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location. If you don't see it, check your junk mail folder.
