Sunday No-Drop Group Bike Rides

Sunday No-Drop Rides Return for 2026 Season 🚴

Interested in riding with a group but not sure how? Want to explore the DMV by bike but feel unsure about riding on the roads? Or just looking for a relaxed social ride each week?

Starting Sunday, April 5, our weekly no-drop rides return for the 2026 season!

These rides are designed to be welcoming and supportive for riders building confidence in group riding. The typical pace is 12–17 mph, and all rides are led by DC Tri Club volunteers. “No drop” means the group rides together the entire time, has regroup points along the way and we try to have a sweep on each ride.

New this year:
We’ll start with short, low-key routes and gradually build over the summer toward the Elite Team’s Fall Foliage Ride. Each route will repeat for one month, so if you miss a week, you can easily jump back in.

We’ll also offer a short pre-ride mini-class before each ride covering helpful skills like:

• Changing a flat

• Group riding communication

• Basic road safety

• Simple first aid

⏰ Intros and Mini Class will start at 8:15 AM and Rides start promptly at 8:30 AM on Sundays (start time may adjust as summer heat picks up! Check the group for updates each week!)
📍 Routes & meeting locations, all in the DMV, are published at least 1-week in advance in the member connect group (linked on this page, called ‘Sunday Bike Rides Group’ or accessed here)

Please also join the club’s Ride with GPS account (free) so you can download the route before the ride.
