Bicycle Camping

Meet in the parking lot of the Handy Bikes Service Center. At the start of each ride, we'll go over introductions to have a sense of participants' cycling experience. Over the course of our rides, we'll address the following: group riding dynamics; safety (ABC check & trail hazards); gear shifting; hill climbing; audible and hand communication within the group, with other trail users, and automobile drivers; what to bring on each ride; etc... Bring your questions, water & a snack. When it starts getting dark earlier, we'll need lights as well. Helmets a MUST. If you can, and especially if you've had issues with your bike, come a bit early to have it looked at ahead of the ride. PS - all levels are welcome to join, however, be mindful that if you are an experienced rider, please be prepared to ride at the pace of the newest rider in the group. Each week, depending on who's in attendance, and participants' riding ability/comfort level, we may do skills practice as a group in the parking lot or at the west end of Wheeler Ave. Once everyone is comfortable, we'll go for a ride on local trails and neighborhood streets and finish back at the shop. Happy Pedaling !! \~Maya

**The MOOTS Routt 45 Demo Experience:** *A Full Size Run (50cm–60cm)* One bike for any occasion. Every size for our riders. **We are stoked to announce a special collaboration with our MOOTS factory representative for an exclusive demo day at Handy Bikes Retail Showroom.** We aren't just bringing a couple of bikes; we’ll have an entire size run of the legendary Routt 45 ready for you to throw a leg over. **The Bike: The Routt 45** **The Routt 45 is the "do-everything" titanium gravel machine**, named after the unpredictable mix of surfaces found on Routt County Road 45 in Steamboat Springs. Whether it’s forest tracks, chunky gravel, or the trails where the maps end, this bike is built to handle it all with: **-Modern Gravel Geometry:** *A longer top tube paired with a shorter stem for stability and precision.* **-All-Day Comfort:** *A relaxed, upright posture that lets you stay in the saddle longer.* **-Massive Clearance:** *Room for up to 50c-wide tires to soak up the chatter.* **-Ti-Flexibility:** *Compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrains and featuring discreet fender eyelets.* **Find Your Perfect Fit** Titanium is a lifetime investment, and getting the fit right is the first step. Our rep will be on-site to help you dial in your setup across the full range: *Available Sizes: 50cm \| 52cm \| 54cm \| 56cm \| 58cm \| 60cm* **Don't Just Read the Reviews—*Ride the Legend*** It’s rare to see a full size run of MOOTS in one place, let alone get to take them for a ride. This is a unique opportunity to skip the 'parking lot test' and actually feel how handcrafted US-made titanium handles. Whether you're dreaming of your *'forever bike'* or just want to see what the hype is about, this is the day to do it.

HISTORY * The Occoquan Workhouse was built in 1910 as a work camp to rehabilitate prisoners through hard labor. * In 1917, the prison held dozens of suffragists who were arrested for picketing the White House. * The suffragists endured poor conditions, violence, and were locked in solitary confinement. * The suffragists' experiences helped to turn public opinion in favor of suffrage. MEMORIAL * The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial is located in Occoquan Regional Park. * It honors the women who were imprisoned at the Occoquan Workhouse. * You can learn more about the memorial and take a tour at [turningpointsuffragistmemorial.org](https://suffragistmemorial.org/). * The gate at the memorial is the original one from the White House when the suffragists protested in front of it. **++++++++++++++++++++** **The Meeting Spot:** **++++++++++++++++++++** **Workhouse Art Center (Parking Lot on the left at the entrance)** 9518 Workhouse Wy, Lorton, VA 22079 GPS: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/J7EqYBmVjL4CzaVi9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/J7EqYBmVjL4CzaVi9) (Parking lot on the left at the entrance) Bathroom available at the Start = Bunnyman Brewery.
