MTCCVA will be joining GII and the VeloCity Riders from Baltimore along with other DMV Cyclists who are joining together for a bike ride at Ritchie Station Marketplace.

What to expect:

Pre-ride safety briefing will begin at 8:45

Wheels Down AT 9:00

The 65- and 40-mile routes split at mile 26.4, and the 20 Mile route separates from both courses at mile 12.7.

64 Miles road 9:00 am
40 Miles roll 9:05 am
20 Miles roll 9:10 am

If your 64 or 40-mile group is not ready by the start time, they must leave after the 20-mile group.

There will be bathrooms available inside the ALDI and Mc Donald's at the start of the ride if needed. After the ride you can enjoy a post ride meal at one of the nearby restaurants.

We designed three routes:

64-mile route 3,177 ft. elevation for advanced riders

40-mile route 2,057 ft. elevation for intermediate riders

21-mile route 1,110 ft. elevation for those who want to work the cobwebs out of their legs from the winter.

Each route has Self-Supported rest stops with bathrooms and food/drinks for purchase.

*****These rides will have SAG provided at the ride*****

Please bring $5 for SAG. CASH APP $RodneyJNoland, or give him EXACT CHANGE at the meetup, PLEASE!

The SAG number will be provided at the ride.

Why do we have Support and Gear (SAG)? To ensure you and your bike get back to your car safely, if you have an accident, are not able to finish the ride, incur a mechanic, have medical issues, or maybe you have Biked off more than you can do. SAG will assist you in these matters. In other words, Crap Happens!
