NEW: From Glen Echo's Charm to the Majestic Great Falls with E-bike Lovers

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45899232
26.1 miles. The lunch point is at the overlook in Great Falls. Toilets are at Fletchers Boathouse and halfway along the route.

Lunch is at the Great Falls overlook 18.2 miles into the ride. There are toilets at Great Falls and Fletchers' Boathouse. We will be biking on the Capital Crescent Trail, the C&O Canal pathway, and McArthur Blvd with separate biking lanes.

Inspired by Susan's route in this beautiful neighborhood, we will e-bike from Glen Echo Park in Maryland to the majestic Great Falls. This new tour captures the essence of adventure and natural beauty.

We will be meandering alongside the serene Potomac River and the C&O Canal, offering E-bike Lovers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the lush landscapes that define this region.

Glen Echo Park, with its rich tapestry of cultural and artistic heritage, serves as the perfect prologue to a journey that gradually unfolds into the wild, untamed beauty of the Great Falls.

The route is just over 26 miles on gravel and asphalt. The gravel is compact. If you don't like the gravel on the C&O Canal pathway, this is not your route.

Entrance to the Great Falls National Park is for free as we enter from the C&O Canal.

We park at the large parking lot off Oxford Street, NOT at the smaller lot at McArthur Blvd.

Please bring snacks, lunch and plenty of water.

The group stops a few times for slower riders to catch up.

REMEMBER: This is a self-guided event. This event empowers each participant to take the lead, as there are no designated bike leaders within E-bike Lovers. We all embrace the role of leaders in this self-guided experience.

Please RSVP only 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.
