Start: 2025-06-21T16:00:00.000Z
Location: Valmont Park

Please join us for a variety of activities to celebrate WorldPride DC 2025! We are excited to invite our Brompton community and the general public from the DC area to join us for a relaxed ride from Georgetown along the Potomac and Anacostia to an LGBTQ+ self-guided walking tour at [Congressional Cemetery](https://congressionalcemetery.org). All bikes are welcome and loaner Bromptons can be arranged through our [DC Junction](https://us.brompton.com/find-a-store/brompton-junction/washington-dc)!
Congressional Cemetery is believed to be the world’s only cemetery with a Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer + section. Congressional Cemetery is an active cemetery with many members of the LGBTQ+ community currently buying plots, and is the future site of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit LGBTQ+ Veterans Memorial. Download the self-guided walking tour map [here](https://congressionalcemetery.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/LGBT-Tour-2024.pdf).
We will then continue across Hill East and Capitol Hill and conclude the ride at [Red Bear Brewery](https://www.redbear.beer), DC's first and only gay owned and operated brewery! Participants are free to make their own route home from Red Bear on the MBT or any of the other cycle tracks and bike paths in the area. We will try to sit outside and there are plenty of bike racks immediately adjacent in front of REI.

Brompton G-Line Ride to Lincoln Park (South Pond)

J.C. Lind Bike Co.

**Intro:**
Summer is here and the time is right for biking in the streets. This ride will be considered intermediate to advanced based on the distance. Riders should be comfortable riding in a group setting. There will be pit stops along the way to take photos, water breaks, etc. Our goal is to keep the group on the road as much as possible and then cut loose at Johnnys. If you have never done the City Island ride, you're in for a treat.

This ride is for seafood lovers! Discover a different side to The Bronx as part of our neighborhood series rides

Fyi: There is a Comedy-Drama film starring Andy Garcia called City Island.
If you haven't seen it, its worth watching. Filmed entirely in City Island

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Island_(film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Island_(film))

**Meeting:**
We will meet at the Brompton Junction at 11am and head out for a bike ride to City Island in the Bronx. This will be our second go around since we did this ride in March.

**The Ride:**
We will work our way along the east side and into the Bronx along the newly paved Grand Concourse which has bike lanes. Johnnys Reef in City Island will be the venue. They have good seafood at very reasonable prices. Remember to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. They do have restrooms and on site ATM.

**The Venue**
Johnnys is popular amongst various cycling clubs and we are glad to visit this venue.

On the way back we can hop on 242st station and make our way back to NYC.

Depending on how people feel and weather, there is an option to extend the ride and work our way back.

Approx distance : 25-27 miles to Johnnys Reef. You can view the link below:
