https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38008473

20.9 miles. The picnic break is at the Great Falls Overlook, 15.8 miles into the route. Bathrooms beginning, middle, and end.

Note: Wednesday Rides always meet at 10:30, and we bike at 10:45!

Join us for another Wednesday extravaganza! We will be e-biking from Avenel Local Park through Potomac Village and on to Great Falls and the C&O Towpath. The trail is around 21 miles and is in the plush and sometimes "over the top" residential area of Potomac Village, the location of "The Real Housewives of Potomac," a reality TV show.

We will meet at the gazebo near the playgrounds in the parking lot.

The area is known for its abundance of mansions, pedicured lawns, and relatively quiet residential roads connecting the enclaves of the rich and famous.

The majority of the trail follows asphalt on rustic roads. The trail takes us past the renowned Glenstone Museum, heads toward Great Falls, and follows the C&O Canal Towpath for the last 6 miles on gravel.

Please charge your batteries, as we will be biking in some hilly terrain. "Analog" unassisted bikes always welcome.

Bring snacks, lunch and plenty of water. Check weather and dress appropriately.

Our lunch break will be at approximately 16 miles at the Great Falls Overlook Beach, adjacent to the Overlook. No locks are required. If you visit the overlook, a gracious E-Bike Lover member will mind the bikes at the "beach."

The group stops a few times for slower riders to catch up. The distance will be 21 miles or shorter any time you are fully satisfied with biking for the day.

For the E-bike Lovers group to be successful, we need to grow our membership carefully. Please feel free to invite other E-bike lovers, spread the word, and let's have fun.

As usual, non-assisted bikers are most welcome.
