Anacostia River Trail to Sang Froid Distillery via the Aquatic Gardens

We are excited to invite our Brompton community from the DC area to join us for a relaxed ride from The Fields at RFK along the Anacostia River Trail to a tour and tasting at Sang Froid Distillery in Hyattsville, MD, via the Aquatic Gardens and back again. Indoor bike parking will be available either at Sang Froid or at Arrow Bicycles, just a few doors down from the distillery. After the tasting, there will be an opportunity to grab food in Hyattsville before heading back via Riverdale Park. The route is mostly flat and on bike trails with only a bit of street in Hyattsville and Riverdale Park. On the way back we'll take the shortcut through Kenilworth Park on dirt/gravel for a few hundred yards.
