Join us for a Rockville Bike Party Holiday Lights Ride—with an after-party at Trek! Light up the night with us! Decorate your bike with festive lights and join a cheerful neighborhood cruise to enjoy some holiday displays. We have mapped out a **9 mile route**—just enough rolling hills to earn some treats afterward! To fully enjoy the decorations, we’ll ride at a relaxed **9–10 mph pace**. This will be a **no-drop ride**, and we’ll also offer a **shorter, family-friendly route option** so everyone can join the fun. The Ride with GPS route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53559234 We included streets that have the most holiday décor. **Safety first:** Please bring a bright **white front light** (at least 500–800 lumens) and a **red rear light** for visibility. Can’t wait to ride with you and celebrate the season! 🚲✨ READ THE FINE PRINT, PLEASE: • Bicycling involves inherent risks and requires that participants be in proper physical condition.

This isn’t just a fitness loop; it’s a semi-curated journey through DC’s most skateable architecture and historic neighborhoods. *** The Route Highlights Our journey takes us through a diverse mix of grand plazas, lush parks, and urban industrial stretches: • The Hill & The Parks: We’ll glide past the scenic Stanton Park and Lincoln Park, enjoying the long stretches of smooth pavement and open views of Capitol Hill. • RFK & The Waterfront: From the wide-open spaces of the RFK Campus, we’ll head south toward the Anacostia River, catching the breeze as we transition toward the Navy Yard. • The Stadium Sprint: Feel the energy as we weave through the Southwest Stadium District, skating under the shadows of Audi Field and Nationals Park. • The Grand Finale: We’re closing out the session with a group favorite thrill—the fast, smooth descent through the 12th Street Tunnel to bring us back toward Freedom Plaza in the heart of the city. Fast Facts • Distance: 13.27 Miles • Start Time: 11:00 AM • Meeting Point: Freedom Plaza • Vibe: Urban exploration, community spirit, and pure speed. *** Whether you’re here for the landmarks or the 12th Street Tunnel rush, this Sunday is the perfect way to see DC on eight wheels.

The topic for January is "Chemistry" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 7:00 pm, show starts at 7:30 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
