19 miles with a few short, steep climbs on residential streets and a very gradual uphill on the Capital Crescent Trail. Suitable for advanced beginners and above on road or hybrid bikes

What a fun ride!  Leaving from Bethesda, we will travel on residential roads, bicycle trails and the now permanently closed-to-traffic roads of Rock Creek Park (truly a treasure) 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.
