The ride goes through pleasant neighborhoods, with just a short time on the bike path and a few slightly busier streets.

An additional 6 miles can be added for any folks interested in taking the bike path across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to National Harbor.

The ride leader may cancel the ride if the forecasted high for the day is less than 45° or chance of rain is 50% or more. If weather looks doubtful contact the ride leader and/or check the Ride News in VA on the club's Home Page.

The entrance to the Belle Haven picnic area is the first left off the George Washington parkway going South, once you are completely through Old Town. Once you turn into the Park, take the first left and we meet in the last (Nothernmost) parking lot on the right.
