Log-In
35 miles, 2000 feet elevation. Scenic rural roads with several challenging climbs. For Intermediate Riders (average pace 11-13 mph). Note, we are also offering the same route for Advanced Riders with a faster pace. Register for that ride HERE.
Leaving from Riley’s Lock, we will explore the western reaches of the Montgomery County Agriculture Reserve along low-traffic roads, passing working farms, cornfields and woodlands. The ride begins with two climbs that will get your heart pumping with a few more challenging hills for good measure before we end. But it’s well worth the effort! We’ll enjoy two climbs and a long downhill on Mt. Nebo Road before ending with the rollers on River Road. This ride is suitable for intermediate riders who like hills. Our average pace will be 11-13 mph. As with all our rides, there will be a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.
After the ride, we invite you to join us in collecting trash along Riley's Lock Road, the "Rustic Road" that WWO has adopted as part of the County's program to preserve historic and scenic roadways and keep them litter free.
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.

30 miles on mostly flat paved trails. Good for intermediate and advanced riders, and advanced beginners ready for a longer ride.
This ride has it all! We will start in College Park and loop around the beautiful Lake Artemesia. Then we will ride along the Northwest Branch Trail until we join the Anacostia River Trail (ART). We'll stop at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and wander there for about 30 minutes to see what's in bloom. We'll continue on the trail and then ride past the Navy Yard to a rest stop (and lunch) at Potbelly. On our return, we’ll cross the river over the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge (which has a separate and wide pedestrian/bicycle lane) and ride along Anacostia Park Drive before doubling back on our route. This ride always delights showing unique places in the city. The ride is suitable for all types of bikes. As with all our rides there will be a leader and sweep and no one will be left behind.
