(Important note: to find out if this ride goes at 10 AM, 1 PM, or is canceled altogether due to cold temperature, you should check Forum/MD Ride News at the Potomac Pedalers website for an update which I will try to post before 8 AM, but no later than 9 AM.

My decision will be based on what looks like the best option for riding, i.e., earlier start versus warmer temperature. You can call me before 9 AM if you don't have internet access handy or at all).

This is a simple ride that should not challenge too many people. It is basically a ride down to Pierce Mill and back.

Except for a short distance from the Mormon Temple to East-West Hwy, the entire ride will be on Beach Dr (except for optional hill (Ridge Rd / Ross Rd) after leaving Pierce Mill, for those that cannot get enough of that kind of thing).

Possible lunch after the ride at a restaurant nearby.
