Note: This ride will be entirely in the dark. **Both front and rear lights are required** to join the ride.

On this week's [15-mile route](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49170924)[,](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49006204) we'll exit the Rock Creek Trail at Woodley Park and take a spin through Upper Northwest before turning South on Broad Branch and heading back downtown. This week's dinner stop will be at [Her Diner](https://herdiner.com/#menu) (Formerly Duplex Diner) in Adams Morgan.

These evening rides are casual and social, with an average speed of around 10–13 mph. New riders as well as experienced cyclists are welcome, but if you've not been on a bike for years, you may want to practice first and get comfortable riding before your first group ride.

Arrive by 6:15pm at the Smithsonian Metro Station (the Mall entrance at 12th St and Jefferson Dr); the ride departs promptly at 6:30pm.

If you need to drive to the ride start, on-street parking is available on the Mall within a few blocks.

The route can be found on RideWithGPS at [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49170924](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49170924). While we try to stick together as a group as much as possible and stop to regroup from time to time so that nobody gets lost, it is advisable to have a copy of the route with you in the event that you should get separated from the group.

Bring a helmet, water, and head and tail lights. A lock is recommended if you plan to join the optional post-ride food and beverages.
