[https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44182368](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44182368) 23 miles. Toilets in the beginning, middle and end of the trail. This trail is approximately 23.2 miles with two short but steep inclines and one very shallow water crossing. It took considerable time to design this route, showing the best Reston offers. Our challenge was to cross the Dulles Access Road in an e-bike-friendly way. Most miles are on protected cycling paths, including the W&OD trail. Even if you live in Reston, most connecting trails may be new to you. Just some 30 minutes from Washington DC is Reston. We will be e-biking from the Water Mine Family Swimming Hole to Reston in the vicinity of Reston's man-made lakes. Reston is a recently established urban area. It was founded in 1964 to revolutionize postwar urban planning. It is known for its two golf courses, lakes, ponds, a high density of trees, and open spaces. We will visit the Vernon J. Walker Nature Education Center during lunch. The trail is on asphalt roads and paths with occasional short, but steep inclines and declines. Please bring snacks, lunch and plenty of water. **Free Ride With GPS for E-Bike Lovers** The Ride With GPS E-bike Lovers club membership is now free as www.ebikelovers.com generates sufficient income from ads to cover the costs.

**In an attempt to restart VeloDCity, I am creating a joint event with Bike Me DC.** **Join us for the 2026 Reston Bike Club Spring Kickoff Ride!** There are 5 options (4 shown below) - please register on the RBC site for the appropriate group based on your speed level. [Reston Bicycle Club - RBC 2026 Spring Kickoff Ride](https://restonbikeclub.org/event-6648894?CalendarViewType=4&SelectedDate=4/21/2026) Note: Some may want to do the longer ride, but not at the posted speed. That should be fine but you will not have the group to ride with. Each group will roll with a ride leader, but if your group separates, you may be dropped. **Please note the start times are different for each group.** * 10:00 AM Start: A Group - 21+ mph / 48 mile route (301B) * 10:05 AM Start: B Group - 19-21 mph / 48 mile route (301B) * 10:30 AM Start: C Group - 17-19 mph / 31 mile route (301C) * 10:35 AM Start: D Group - 15-17 mph / 31 mile route (301C) * 10:45 AM Start: E Group - 12-15 mph / 22 mile route (301D) The goal is to have all of the groups finish at similar times so we can hang out together at Lost Rhino after the ride. RBC will provide some light refreshments, and Lost Rhino will have a special menu for the RBC riders to purchase food and beer after the ride. Lawn chairs are encouraged for those who want to sit on their lawn and listen to live music or play corn hole.
