Relaxed Bike Ride 4

In my continuing effort to revive interest in bicycling in Adventuring I offer a fourth relaxed bike ride of 23 miles beginning and ending at the Clarendon Metro station (Orange and Silver Lines) in Arlington. [Click here to see a map of the route and the elevation profile.](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/57160909?privacy_code=oAoPCwlYcE9sd6doPnvoChkFbmbgdBxc&via=vKehcVDObyZu9E--qJ6gPw) Don't be intimidated by the few hills on the route. I promise to take them slowly and wait for riders at the top if necessary. By "relaxed" I mean our pace will be in the range of 10-12 MPH. Most novice bike riders should feel comfortable with that pace. Of course experienced riders are welcome, too. If there is any interest we can have lunch at a local eatery after the ride.

We are fortunate to have a good network of bicycle paths, lanes, and bicycle-friendly streets in the DC area. We will make good use of them as we cycle through Arlington and Alexandria. I intend for our group to stay together throughout the ride so you won't need to bother with a cue sheet or navigation device or worry about being "dropped." We will depart promptly at 11:00 AM. Wear a helmet, bring a water bottle, and be prepared to pay Adventuring's usual $5 trip fee. Please [click here](https://adventuringlgbtq.com/Adventuring_Release_Form.pdf) to review our release form.
