Group ride

The best way to get to know the team, and maybe join it: come ride with us on Saturday and introduce yourself to any team member.

Saturdays at 9:00 am

We meet at 9:00 and roll at exactly 9:10. Two groups: a fast, race-like A group and a steady-pace B group.

How the ride goes

  1. We roll out safely and casually north on Beach Drive.
  2. We leave the park and head north on Tuckerman Lane, a little faster, keeping the group together, especially at traffic lights.
  3. Left on Falls Road, then right on Glen Road. From here it's a drop ride and can get very fast.
  4. Regroup back at the Glen and Falls intersection.
  5. Roll back south on Tuckerman at a moderate pace.

Safety: the descent before Esworthy Road and the right turn onto Esworthy are neutral. They are not a place to pass.

Coming from DC?

A group usually leaves at 8:30 am from the Exorcist Steps in Georgetown and rides to the start together.
