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 all of the sites along the way. There will be some participants that will have shorter routes because of their physical conditioning; but will be cheered and rewarded when they are recognized for their personal gains after each ride and the end of the year.
The routes for Tuesday Take Over will start on the W&OD Trail and will spread out to Fairfax and Loudoun Counties Bike Lanes and Sharrows as the days get longer and our fitness levels increase. These routes are geared to the availability of well lit rest stops, restrooms and rehydration venues. The first few weeks anticipate turning around at the Smith Switch Station being the distance until the Sun sets later in the day.
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

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 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.
