DCC's "Monday Moves" along the Metropolitan Branch Trail to Rock Creek Park. Join DCC and Conte’s Bike Shop (Navy Yard) for a ride along the Metropolitan Branch Trail to Rock Creek Park. From Conte’s Navy Yard, we ride North on 3rd and 2nd Streets to the Metropolitan Branch Trail. We go up the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) to Fort Totten, then ride West gently uphill through several Northwest neighborhoods, followed by a nice downhill South on Blagden Avenue to Rock Creek Park. From there it’s a couple of climbs up Ridge Road to our rest stop at Carter Barron Amphitheatre. After the rest stop, we ride downhill on Beach Drive all the way to Pierce Mill, where there’s an optional climb up Tilden Street and back down to Pierce Mill. From Pierce Mill we ride South on the Rock Creek Trail all the way down to Virginia Avenue, then along the river past the West Potomac Park Sport Field (volleyball!) to the bottom of the golf course on Hains Point. Next we ride over to The Wharf, ride along the river to the Titanic Memorial, then West on P Street and finally back to Conte's. The full route is approximately 26 miles with 1,200 feet of climbing. This ride is geared towards our newer riders (with a chill pace and no one left behind), but all are welcomed. The ride is on streets, trails and sidewalks. There will be a safety briefing to help riders become more comfortable with riding in groups. We will meet at Conte’s Navy Yard Bike Shop at 10 am and depart at 10:15. All riders should bring their own hydration and nutrition, as well as a spare inner tube. *** Please, no music that can be heard by other riders or ear headphones that impede your hearing. Parking is limited at the Navy Yard, so for those driving, an option is to park at Anacostia Park (aquatic center) and take 11th street bridge to M Street, then a left on 4th. ****all riders ride at their own risk**** If there is a chance of inclement weather expected on Monday, a cancelation notice will be posted by 9:00 pm on Sunday; otherwise, the ride will take place. Below is the link to the route: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/371823712

Sleep, Rest & Connection: Building Our Community Together Join us for the next gathering of The Pause Collective — a supportive meetup for neurodivergent women navigating perimenopause, menopause, burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions. Since many of us haven't yet had the opportunity to meet, we'll begin by getting to know one another and sharing what brought us to this community. We'll also explore one of the most common challenges many women experience during this season of life: sleep. Whether you're navigating insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, racing thoughts, night sweats, exhaustion, burnout, or simply not feeling rested, you're not alone. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure coffee shop meetup focused on connection and conversation. No need to prepare anything. No pressure to share. Come as you are. Together we'll: • Introduce ourselves and get to know one another • Share what brought us to The Pause Collective • Discuss sleep, rest, and energy during perimenopause and menopause • Exchange ideas, experiences, and support • Explore what topics we'd like to discuss in future gatherings • Continue building the kind of community we'd like to create together This space is neurodivergent-affirming, self-diagnosis-friendly, and supportive of different communication styles and energy levels. Quiet participation is welcome. Listening is participating. Whether you're looking for support, learning, friendship, or simply a place where you don't have to explain yourself, you are welcome here. I look forward to meeting you. — Dawn
