25 miles. For advanced beginners and above.  The route is flat except for a long, easy climb back to the start.

This ride is a great way to begin the new year! We'll start in Bethesda, we’ll ride down the Capitol Crescent Trail (CCT) into the city, stopping at the Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR and MLK Memorials for photo ops and a little history.  Our ride will also take us down the National Mall, past the WWII Memorial, and the Washington Monument, and the Smithsonian Museums (including outdoor sculpture gardens) as we enjoy the beauty of the city. We’ll have a rest stop about mid-way at the U.S. Botanic Gardens.

This is a city ride, social pace with attention to all stoplights.  Since it’s a federal holiday, we expect the traffic will be light. As with all WWO rides, there will be a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.

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

After you complete your registration, you will receive an email with additional details and the start location.
