Bike

Meet at the parking lot of the tennis courts at the intersection of Buckeye Dr. and Ohio Dr. at 5:45 pm with wheels up at 6 pm. Look for weather notifications on the Wednesday Hains Gains group.

This is a 3-mile loop. All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged. Minimal road experience is needed We will ride one loop together as a group and then break off into paces that are comfortable for each person. Don’t forget to join us for post-ride snacks after 7pm!

Rides are 15-20 miles in length with an average pace of 12 – 15mph. All paces welcome! We try to make these no-drop rides by having 2-3 re-group spots on each ride and trying our best to have a second volunteer on each ride to sweep. Rides typically have a brunch / coffee meetup after the ride.

The routes, all in the DMV, are published at least 1-week in advance in the member connect group (accessed here). Please join the DC Tri Club’s RideGPS account (it’s free to join) so that you can download the route in advance of the ride.

This weekly Sunday Bike is perfect for those training for an Ironman, Half Iron, or who just want to ride long distances on Sundays. The group meets in behind the bank at M and Wisconsin in Georgetown at 7:00 AM. The schedule is based on the ride lead (Tuan)’s racing schedule, approximately May to September, with distances ranging between 60-120 miles. The largest group averages 17-19 mph (route is rolling hills) but other pace groups form. Tuan emails out weekly cue sheets and updates.
