Monday Moves-- University of Maryland/ Lake Artemesia

Lake Artemesia and Univ. of MD

DCC's "Monday Moves" to Lake Artemesia and the Univ. of MD

Join DCC and Conte’s Bike Shop (Navy Yard) for a fun ~35 mile round trip that includes the Univ. of MD and Lake Artemesia. Depending on the day, we also ride this route in the reverse direction.

Starting from Conte’s, we ride across the Fredrick Douglas Bridge and along the Anacostia River Trail to the Northern Branch Trail with a stop at the Bladensburg Water Front Park. We take the Northern Branch Trail to College Park, where we ride through the Univ. of MD. Campus and then on to Lake Artemesia. We return to DC straight down the Anacostia River Trail.

This ride will be geared towards our newer riders (with a chill pace and no one left behind), but all are welcomed. The ride is on streets, trails and sidewalks. There will be a safety briefing to help riders become more comfortable with riding in groups.

We will meet at Conte’s Navy Yard Bike Shop at 10 am and depart at 10:15.

All riders should bring their own hydration and nutrition, as well as a spare inner tube.

*** Please, no music that can be heard by other riders or ear headphones that impede your hearing.

Parking is limited at the Navy Yard, so for those driving, an option is to park at Anacostia Park (aquatic center) and take 11th street bridge to M Street, then a left on 4th.

all riders ride at their own risk

If there is a chance of inclement weather expected on Monday, a cancelation notice will be posted by 9:00 pm on Sunday; otherwise, the ride will take place.
