***Change in plans: Unfortunately Black Market Bistro cannot accommodate us. So instead we will be going to North Bethesda (355 just North of Montrose) to SlapFish and/or Cava. Total miles will be the same, but a few more miles after lunch.<br /><br />*Registration required.<br />*~27 miles. 9:20 Start from Veirs Mill Park. We will ride south on Beach Dr and then back north to lunch (hopefully outside) at ~mile 26. Ride will be almost entirely on roads (some sections closed to cars), with only ~1 mile on paved Rock Creek Trail.<br />* Route is mostly flat with a couple significant hills. Ride will be C pace, averaging ~13 mph overall, faster on flat roads &amp; slower when hills; see the Ride Class Table (https://www.potomacpedalers.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&amp;club_id=495413&amp;module_id=452207 ) for more info on ride classes and average speeds.<br /> **Ride Rules:<br />• Participation is limited to those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID.
