These rides are normally based off the Arlington Loop, where we visit different area coffee shops or bakeries for a cup and/or treat if desired but you don't have to drink or even like coffee to participate. This week we will head to Vienna. The ride is a 19.7 mile flatish medium level ridden at a social pace (11-13 mph). We will get on the W&OD from the Bluemont SOUTH Parking Area out to the the Van Buren Connector to the I-66 Parallel Trail and out to Nutley St where we take neighborhood streets to at the corner of Lawyers and Church in Vienna. After coffee we take the W&OD back to Bluemont Park +++++++++++++++++++++ The Meeting Spot: +++++++++++++++++++++ South Bluemont Parking 329 N Manchester St Arlington, VA 22203 GPS: 38°52'07.6"N 77°07'55.7"W (https://www.google.com/maps/place/38%C2%B052'07.6%22N+77%C2%B007'55.7%22W/@38.868786,-77.132133,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d38.868786!4d-77.132133!5m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) We will meet in the parking lot. • This location has Restrooms • Next to the Playground and Disc Golf Course +++++++++++++++++++++ The Koffee Within The Ride: +++++++++++++++++++++ Café de Vienna (https://cafedevienna.com/) 131 Church St NW Vienna, VA 22180 +++++++++++++++++++++ Ride Level Chart +++++++++++++++++++++ NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides.
