Join "Vintage Steel Cyclists" for an (Easy Like Sunday Morning Ride) from Hains Point out to Lafayette Pointer Park and back with stops at DuPont Circle fountain for those who would like to join us there, Friendship Heights, and Fort Reno Park. We'll stop at the Broadbranch Market near Lafayette Pointer Park to grab a bite to eat. This is my favorite market to get a bite to eat when I'm working in the neighborhood. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. This is a no drop ride at a social party pace average between 12 to 15 mph on flats, and it will be slower on hills, and we'll wait and regroup at the top of all hills. There is some elevation on this ride going out and a little coming back. We'll make sure no one is left behind. You must have a steel bike to participate in this ride but we do allow new riders to ride any style bike for their first ride but after that you must have a steel bike to ride. This ride will be approximately 20 to 30 easy miles round trip.
