This is the third of a series of training rides intended to help prepare people for the club's marquee fall event, the Harvest Hundred, taking place on 9/21. If you have thought about riding a century, but thought maybe you weren't ready, these rides are for you! New riders welcome -- you need not have gone to the first training ride to participate. Riders new to the club and the area are always welcome.

Today, we ride from DC up Macarthur Blvd to Great Falls, and then on to Darnestown and back via Rock Creek Park. As with other PPTC rides, we look forward to the joys of harmonious peloton, with occasional pace lines when roads and traffic allow. We are recreational riders and not racers, so we’re prioritizing safety.

We will leave from Blue Bottle Coffee in Georgetown and return for tacos at Bandit Tacos on New Hampshire Ave at 16th St.

This is a no-drop ride, and we will have regroup points along the route, along with two rest stops for water and snacks. However, please download the route and refer to the Potomac Peddlers ride class table for pacing.
