VSDC Biking: Arlington to Vienna on WOD

Please join us for a ride from Arlington to Vienna on the WOD trail. We will meet at the Barcroft Community Center that should have ample parking for us. We will ride West towards Vienna on the WOD trail. At Vienna we will have a refreshment break at [South Block](https://www.southblock.com/locations/vienna). After the break, we will head back. After reaching Dominion Hill Park, there will two options for the route back: [Long option](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3HDJoHU6wjiQLPv47): we will be taking the Arlington loop route which would make the total ride about 31 miles. [Short option](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gE6qYoj4Yd6k8WAN7): head straight back to the starting point - this would make the total ride 21 mils. It would be simple and you might have to do it yourself. Please note: based on the weather, the meeting time might be changed - keep an eye on the comments.
