&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Have you wanted to ride with a group but you weren't sure you were ready or that you could ride far enough? This is the ride for you! On this social-paced ride, you'll enjoy the beauty of Rock Creek Park as we ride an easy five miles out and five miles back on Beach Drive&amp;nbsp;(approximately 1.25 hours of riding), which is now closed to traffic. Before we start, we'll go over guidance for riding in a group, basic bicycle maintenance and safety tips. (Note: this is not a "how-to-ride class.") At the mid-point of the ride, we'll take a break at Candy Cane City/Meadowbrook Stables.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;This is a no- drop ride, with a leader and a sweep and no one will be left behind.&amp;nbsp; Suitable for all bicycle types.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;There is limited space, so please register early. Although this ride is FREE for Members, you do need to register.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Kent Island Ramble Bicycle Ride (25 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;" face="Ubuntu"&gt;35 miles on flat roads and bike trail&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;. For advanced beginners (who can ride the distance) and above.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Suitable for all types of bikes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://washingtonwomenoutdoors.org/resources/Pictures/Bike%20Pics/Generic%20Dock%20water.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="220" height="165" style=""&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;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 (&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;Matapeake Indians)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to its present-day status as the gateway to the Eastern Shore,&amp;nbsp;Kent Island&amp;nbsp;has played a vital role in the history of Maryland.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;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. &amp;nbsp;Moderate social pace, with a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;There is limited space, so please register early. Although this ride is FREE for Members, you do need to register.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
