Join the Chesapeake Bay Foundation as we host a bike ride on
the Mount Vernon Trail. The ride will not only highlight sights such as the Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, and historic Old Town Alexandria, but as we pedal along the Potomac River we will also learn more about water quality issues, CBF's Cyclist for the Bay program, and our current Federal initiatives to help restore the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay.
Bike route: North end of the Mount Vernon Trail from Roosevelt Island to Old Town Alexandria. This section is about 8 miles one way for a 16 mile round trip. We will pedal at a leisurely speed of 10-12 mph, with plenty of time for photo opportunities. We will ride to Old Town Alexandria where there will be a chance to grab a coffee, snack, or use the facilities before turning around.
All participants must bring their own bike and helmet.
RSVP: Space is limited; please RSVP at contact below.
