This ride has been developed to build your cycling endurance for MTCCVA's Metric or Longer Rides kicking off after the annual Capital Trail ride in May. Ride leaders will be familiar with the clubs cyclists and would like every member to enjoy the challenge of getting up and down the rolling hills of Potomac Shores.  Riding with this group weekly will display your gains within the month on the normal Saturday rides.

We will start at the Golf Course and ride through the community where walkers and runners are in abundance in the community and we will add a group of cyclists to this mix.

If you have routes that you would like to see incorporated in MTCCVA's Building Base Miles and Weekend Metrics or More; please send an email to mtccva@majortaylorva.org. Please include the following for research:

1. Ride with GPS Turn by Turn map

2. Time of Day ride is to begin

3. Rest Stop Locations

5. Distance

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday starting at 5:45 for bike check and route instructions with Wheels going down at 6:00. If you are late; please look to ride the trail to get your miles in for a route in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties may contain a loop where you may not meetup with the members to turnaround to catch up. We look to take account for our family members out on the road to start and finish safely with accountability of one another.
