RIDE WITH US

Come join us every Sunday for a spirited road bike ride through Rock Creek, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac, Kensington and back to the Shop! If you want to experience a true group road ride, our ride will not disappoint!

The Bicycle Place Velo Club (BPVC) meets 8:00 am at the Store; wheels are rolling by 8:30ish. The group consists of about 50+ riders and growing every weekend. We'll wait at some points along the route to regroup. We work on making everyone a safer and faster rider by working on pacelines, hill climbing, and sprinting within a group. Please make sure you and your road bike are in good working order before the ride.
We'll try to maintain a paceline when possible. Our pacelines will vary in speed but are normally 5 to 10 mph higher than our overall average mph.

The ride will meander through the residential sections of Chevy Chase and Bethesda. Eventually, we'll be on Macarthur blvd. and the Clara Barton Pkwy. Climb up to Falls Rd., out to Great Falls, turn around back up to Falls Rd., out towards the residential sections of Potomac, back onto Democracy Blvd., through Wildwood, to Beach Dr. and back to the shop.
It's about 32-40 miles. or 50 if you decide to do the Rock Creek extension.
We'll always say-" Protect your front wheel and if you don't know the way, don't lead!"

Afterwards, we'll continue to our neighborhood cafe, The RED DOG CAFE for Lavazza coffee and post-ride banter!

This ride continues year-round, so stock up now on seasonal clothing!

No rides in sleet, or snow.

It's a true group road ride!
