This awesome ride is back in action in 2026 and just in time to welcome Spring!

As always, this monthly ride starts and ends in DC. No car is needed, with the Woodley Park and Columbia Heights Metro stations nearby.

As always, the route features lots of rolling hills and a few lung-inhaling climbs. We will venture along quiet, leafy green streets within and outside the central city, with a grand finale through Rock Creek Park. While we look forward to the joys of spinning harmoniously and consciously in pace lines, we are recreational riders and not racers, so we’re prioritizing socializing before and after the ride itself.

Those joining us for the day’s adventure are encouraged to arrive early and support a local business, Yours Café, in Woodley Park. Enjoy a cup of coffee, a pastry, or breakfast before we launch at 10:00 AM.

Based on group size and rider speeds, we will ride in one or two groups using pacelines and regroup after any climbs. We are offering two routes based on rider preference: a 53-mile short route and a 64-mile long route. Both routes include two rest stops. This is a no-drop ride. However, please download the route the morning of the ride and refer to the Potomac Pedalers ride class table for pacing.

At the end, we hope you’ll stick around to celebrate with a post-ride tailgate at Don Juan’s restaurant in Mount Pleasant. Our restaurant hosts always show fantastic hospitality for their cyclist guests.
