Practice your riding at one of the area's best criterium 'track' in the area: Hain's Point. A single lap around this famous landmark peninsula is approximately 3.25 miles so multiply that times however many laps you choose to do and you have your total distance. The group will meet at the southern parking lot/picnic area near the former Awakening Sculpture Site. Upon completion we can have an optional lunch at the Capital Grill on the grounds of the golf course.

The Bonus Basic Skills class will start at 11:00am.

- Food and drinks can be purchased from the golf course grill.
They serve hamburgers, hotdogs, fish sandwiches and sodas.

Highlights: Head winds on one side, tail winds on the other, a Bonus Basic Skills Class!

- All rides are 'No Drop', for nobody will be left behind.
- HELMETS ARE REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION.
- ID, spare tube, bike lock/cable is highly recommended.
- Snacks and liquids can be purchased.
- Rain or Shine
- Email me if you have any questions

    I plan to park at Oxon Hill Farm and ride across the Wilson Bridge to the Mt Vernon Trail and then up to the 14th bridge to Hains Point if anyone cares to join me. :)

    Sherwin - Depending on where you're coming from, you can easily ride your bike to the Loop d' loop. From VA, take the Mount Vernon Trail to the 14th St Bridge, then cross bridge via the bike path and take Ohio Drive to Hains Point. From Metro, the closest stations would be Smithsonian and L'Enfant Plaza(both blue and orange line).

    Gregg, is it possible to get to Hans Point without a car, say via metro, bus or even ride the bike from home? I went to wmata.com and 1500 Buckeye Drive SW was not recognized at all.

    Just wondering Greg is there a cue sheet for this ride, just in case someone gets lost after going round and round and round again :)
