See all- Brompton DC: Shop-to-Shop "Water Park" RideBicycleSPACE - Ivy City, Washington, DC
Enjoy a pleasant Saturday afternoon bike ride and lunch break out with fellow foldyfriends!
This 14-ish mile ride will take us from a longtime veteran DC Brompton shop (BicycleSPACE) to our newest shop on the block (Brompton Junction DC), with a pleasant dip in the middle into Northern Virginia to enjoy lunch at National Landing's Water Park outdoor food hall - a new-ish bike-friendly spot featuring outposts of local restaurants with something for everyone, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Route description: We'll be taking advantage of bike lanes through NoMa and Capitol Hill before heading across the National Mall and into Virginia via the Mount Vernon Trail (MVT). After lunch in Crystal City, we'll head back up the MVT via Long Bridge Park and Columbia Island, making our way to Georgetown and the Brompton Junction for the ride's official conclusion. Climbs are relatively minor and aside from a few blocks of M St NW in Georgetown at the very end, on-road riding outside bike lanes will be on rather low traffic streets.
