Training Program

All those who plan to join the annual Bike to the Beach Charity Ride on August 1st are encouraged to participate in biweekly training-rides around the D.C area. We have after-work Tuesday evening rides and Saturday morning and afternoon rides that start from the Georgetown Waterfront and go along the DC area's best bike routes (see schedule below).

We will have a 9AM Saturday rides that will typically be longer (50 miles or longer) and our Noon Saturday will rides will be casual rides and shorter (under 50 miles).

The rides are a great way to get some exercise, get in shape for bike to the beach, and meet some of the other Bike to the Beachers! Take a casual ride or race against your friends: its up to you! Like all B2B events, the bottom-line is fun!

Each ride will be different: Some or our rides will end at our favorite local restaurants for food and drink and a couple will end in Annapolis for an afternoon of sailing. Everyone registered to ride is encouraged to join us for at least 3 training rides before the August 1 Ride. Don't worry; the rides are very doable, even for beginners. So for those of you still on the fence for this years ride, come on out and bike with us one day - no commitment necessary.

If you can not make the training rides, please look at the routes below and go on your own or with some friends. This year's Chairty ride on august 1st is going to be long and hot, so BE PREPARED. Contact us if you have any questions regarding the training rides.
