Evening Rides

Mondays 6:00 pm B+/A 25-35 Wheel Base
Monday Night Road Ride
Expect an average pace of 16-18 mph; there will be “no attacks” on this ride; just a friendly, fast-pace. There will usually be one break for food / drink — not necessarily at a store. Ride cancelled if raining or rain is imminent. Wheelbase Bikes, 301-663-9288.

Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:00 pm B 25-35 Glade Elementary School
Tuesday/Thursday Road Ride
The racers are starting from here, so don’t get confused. We’re easy to tell apart — they’re looking at the finish line, we’re looking at the waist line. Expect a pace of about 15-17 mph. Some nights it’s an impromptu ride.

Wednesdays 6:15 pm C 20-25 Glade Elementary School
Start Slow, Then Ease Off
The ride title says it all! We’ll go at a very easy pace. New riders are welcomed, as this will be a social ride and a recovery ride for those who choose to push harder on Monday and Tuesday nights. No one will be left behind. The ride leader duties will be shared and thus will vary.
