New Design: Hains Point, National Arboretum, and Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

The picnic is 12.5 miles into the trail at the aquatic gardens for the short and longer version of the trail. We have two versions:

DC Trail 7A - E-biking from Hains Point to the Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens and National Arboretum - 33.4 miles
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46889229

DC Trail 7B - Shorter - E-biking from Hains Point to the Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens - 25.2 miles
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46907025

Toilets are at the beginning, middle, and end of the trail

This new route design takes advantage of new cycling routes in DC. Please delete any old version.

FYI: Membership of the Ride With GPS E-bike Lovers club is now free as www.ebikelovers.com generates sufficient income from ads to cover the costs. Here is the link to activate your free membership:

You will have access to over 2,500 miles of curated e-bike routes. With free membership, we hope everyone will download trails before we e-bike.

To avoid the crowds, we will park at the most south-eastern parking lot all the way at the end (not at the golf course) on Hains Point.

From Hains Point, we will be biking to the Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens and the National Arboretum. The entire trip will be some 24 miles to the Aquatic Gardens. If you continue to the National Arboretum, you add a maximum of 8 miles to the trip (depending on how far you bike inside the Arboretum).

Please bring some snacks, lunch and plenty of water. Our bikes will be always in our sight. No additional locks are required to keep your bike safe on this trip.

For the E-bike Lovers group to be successful, we need to grow our membership carefully. Please feel free to invite other E-bike lovers, spread the word and let's have fun.

Please only RSVP if you are coming, so we know how many E-bike Lovers will participate. We enjoy a nearly 100% RSVP success rate. Thank you so much for your help!

As usual, non-assisted bikers are most welcome.
