This is a fancy way to say we are going to do a night ride and go see a monument on the mall (I'm not going to tell you which one, that will be the surprise). It's a night ride so bring all the things (lights, etc..) and note we won't be going super fast (because it's dark). ++++++++++++++++++++ The Meeting Spot: ++++++++++++++++++++ Shirlington Library 4200 Campbell Ave Arlington, VA 22206 GPS: https://goo.gl/maps/y1K7iBorEgsTWBpaA We will meet in front of the Shirlington Library by the fountains. ++++++++++++++++++++ The Ride after the Ride: ++++++++++++++++++++ For those interested we will go to Samuel Beckett’s after the ride for our social. We sit outside so we can bring our bikes and keep an eye on them. Join us if you like! +++++++++++++++++++++ Ride Level Chart +++++++++++++++++++++ NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides. We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best. • Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle). • Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved. • Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved. • Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved. Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations. +++++++++++++++++++++ The Fine Print: +++++++++++++++++++++ An RSVP of 'YES' is your digital signature and means you have read and understood MEETUP.com's: (http://meetup.com's/) • "Terms of Service : Section 6.
