    • “ Nice to try out a new area - loved Sligo Creek Trail! Enjoyed the ride back! ”
    • “ I enjoyed seeing everyone and riding some roads and paths I'd never been on before. Great job, Gregg! ”
    • “ Great event! What can be said; everything came together for a spectacular event. It was wonderful to meet so many old, new and potential 'future members'. Look forward to doing it again soon. ”
    • “ I really enjoyed learning a whole new ride and area of DC. I also found Gregg to have done a good job of keeping a very diverse group together. The only change I would have made was to have a group of more similar riding levels; the difference in skill levels and group size grew to be a bit too much for a smooth, even paced ride. I look forward to coming again on other rides though! Thanks for organizing. ”
    • “ This was a great intro to group riding for me. The creeks were beautiful and Gregg was a great guide. He even pointed out the osprey having lunch on his fresh fish catch. May all first group-riders' experiences be as wonderful as mine was. ”
    • “ Many thanks, Gregg, for your work in organizing. I will definitely attend more rides in the coming weeks. ”
