1- http://goo.gl/maps/FW5zz Here is the final route! We will be staying in Northwest for the entire ride with some uphill on Sherman Ave and some downhill on Georgia Ave. we all STAY TOGETHER. Like to go fast? Cool, but don’t bring the rest of the group with you, please. This is a group ride at a cruise pace.

2- We’ll meet in DuPont and be leaving the Circle heading NORTH on New Hampshire until we head right onto Swann. Get ready to get your cork on. Getting out of the Circle is always one of the most difficult parts!

We’re at it again!We’ll meet in the usual spot, middle of DuPont Circle at 7:30pm, rollin out South via the New Hampshire Ave spoke at 8pm sharp.

The route is complete:  http://goo.gl/maps/T7lTm

Starting in DuPont, going around Washington Circle to Penn to H St. under the Chinatown Arches down 7th zigzagging through Mall down to Benjamin Banneker Park in SW where we’ll stop to take a breather. Onward– through L’Enfant Plaza back through the Mall up to 15th where we’ll bob and weave out way to The Rendezvous Lounge in Adams Morgan.

Lets talk business:

1) We will be leaving at 8pm sharp, so if you need to fix a flat, fill your water bottle, etc, please do it ahead of time!

2)- Don’t forget your lights, lock, helmet, gloves, water, hot chocolate, and/or a snack if you think you’ll need it. This month’s ride is a little shorter than months before, but don’t think the cold weather means you can’t work up a sweat! Know your own body and take care of it so we can see you through to the after party!

3)- CORKING. we need EVERYONE to do their part on this. The ride is too large for designated corkers, so help keep us together. If you come to an intersection that is already being corked, feel free to relieve that person to catch up to their friends! Always be kind to drivers and be safe.

4)- Our Pitstop is at Benjamin Banneker Park in SW, off the L’Enfant Promenade. We’re not staying long– IT’S FREEZING YOU GUYS.
5)- The ride ends at The Rendezvous Lounge on 18th St.

2- We’ll meet in DuPont and be leaving the Circle heading NORTH on Connecticut until we veer right onto 20th Street. Get ready to get your cork on. Getting out of the Circle is always one of the most difficult parts!

It’s the most wonderful time of the month– It’s DC Bike Party time.

Our wild, meandering route is finally complete– check it out for yourself here. We’ll start in DuPont, per usual. We will head North up to U street via Connecticut where we’ll start heading South down 9th St. After a few meandering turns we’ll shoot down 6th until we hop onto Massachusetts Ave from Mt. Vernon Square. After we go around Columbus Circle we’ll ride 2nd Street all the way to The House side of the Hill, where we will take D >> New Jersey >> Ivy >> to South Capitol Street where we’ll hit our first stop.

After our pitstop we will hop back on the bikes (very) briefly, until we hit the SW Waterfront Holiday tree where we will take a DCBP Official Holiday Photo– so please decorate your bikes with holiday lights!

After the photo we’re going to hope on the first portion of the Anacostia Riverwalk trail before we get back on the streets of Capitol Hill where we will take some neighborhood side streets all the way up to Rock n’ Roll Hotel where there will be an extended all night happy hour.
