Former Bike Rack DC beginner ride, it has survived the closing of BRDC, and the pandemic, and morphed into a fast-paced yet social ride. A/B groups usually form after the first attack following a social start. Regroup at the turnaround and again at the finish.
If you’re feeling racy you can race. If you don’t have legs you can likely fall in with another group and meet up at the turnaround point (Viers Mill Park). Expect pace lines, attacking and tactics up front, but very little vehicular traffic throughout.
NOTE: There is an optional, flatter finish to the last couple miles that arrives at the start/finish around the same time as the climbing group. If you'd rather a flat finish, trace the same route back to the start/finish instead of making a right onto Joyce Road.
While it can get spicy, this is ultimately a social ride and all are welcome to enjoy post-ride refreshments and revelry at Don Juan's in Mount Pleasant, just a short climb past the finish.
