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 welcome in the new year! From 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, 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 Garden where we can warm up and enjoy the holiday displays.

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