Is there going to be a B group for the Saturday ride this week? Thank you!

I’m aiming for it unless I’m out of town riding.

7/29 Ride:

It’s going to be a hot one! So shortening up the ride a bit more. 44 mile loop out to Black Lion Coffee in Travilah, MD area (near Gaithersburg) for some iced coffee, iced mochas, iced anything, really!
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43843202

Gonna ride Najemoy Wilderness area south of Smallwood SP. Its a fast 40 miles (2 hrs for me so way less for you superstar) and its mostly in the shade of them tall pine trees.  Strava route link.  Thinking starting nlt 7:30 am  https://www.strava.com/routes/27153151

8/5 Ride:

The weather is looking super nice this weekend (hope I didn’t jinx it! ). Hopefully there will be a great group heading out from Georgetown.

If you want venture outside of DC on Saturday, I’m heading out to do the Mt. Weather/Blue Mountain loop. It’s a 69 mile loop with two big ascents. Marshall VA is about 45 minutes from DC out I-66 (Exit 28).

Route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43922477

Meetup point address:

4133 Rectortown Rd, Marshall, VA 20115

Clip-in Time: 8:00AM

Alternative: there is an alternative option to a 55 mile loop that hits Mt. Weather and then Naked Mountain (avoids one of the major ascents). The two routes ride together for first 35 miles. Route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34434944 (start point is off slightly).

Hi, I am new to the Club (just moved to DC).  Are you leaving from Georgetown tomorrow?  looking forward to riding with you guys. -Javier

Welcome aboard.

Hi Javier, welcome to the Club and to DC!

There will likely be a group at Georgetown tomorrow. I don’t know how big. I know some of the regulars are racing at AGNats in Milwaukee this weekend and I’m riding out west of here tomorrow for a change of scenery. There will probably still be a group there at 7:30AM though, so feel free to show up and introduce yourself!

Hi all, is there a B group ride tomorrow?

[bcfrank]

Hi Kimberly, I do not know if the B group is riding tomorrow.  Sorry. 🙁

 

8/12 Early Ride:

62 mile ride option to Poolesville and Locals Market for coffee and pastries.

Hi Bryan – looks like an interesting route and was thinking about doing this weekend. What are the road conditions like? (wondering which bike to use) Thanks!

-Adam

[Patrick Serfass]

All asphalt. Bring a road bike. TT bikes welcome, if you need saddle time, but don’t plan to use your bars since it’s a group ride

[Adam Secord]

Hi Patrick – sorry if I wasn’t clear but I was referencing the 69 mile ride in Marshall VA not the normal Saturday group ride. Is there a group ride doing this loop this weekend as well?

Thanks!

[mosered]

Our intel informs that that course is all asphalt too, and very hilly.
