The Ride : Detail
+++++++++++++++++++++
For your Sunday evening cycling pleasure NoVA CBG presents our National Ice Cream Day Ride!

It's National Ice Cream Day, so come on out with CBG on a beautiful Sunday evening to get some Ice Cream at Lazy Mike's. The W&OD is shaded in the evening so hopefully a tad cooler for us to get our "ice cream" on.

Additionally, something to make the ice cream even sweeter, it's an incline all the way to Lazy Mike’s (8 miles) so the hardest part of the ride will be over as we enjoy our treat.

We will eat our ice cream in the shade, and then make our way back to Shirlington (did I mention it's mostly downhill on the way back?)

NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides. We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best.

• Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle).
• Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved.
• Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved.
• Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved.

Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations.
