This ride has been developed to build your cycling endurance for MTCCVA's Metric or Longer Rides kicking off after the annual Capital Trail ride in May.  Ride leaders will be familiar with the clubs cyclists and would like every member to enjoy all of the sites along the way.  There will be some participants that will have shorter routes because of their physical conditioning; but will be cheered and rewarded when they are recognized for their personal gains after each ride and the end of the year.

We will start on the W&OD Trail and will spread out to Fairfax and Loudoun Counties Bike Lanes and Sharrows as the days get longer and our fitness levels increase.  These routes are geared to the availability of well lit rest stops, restrooms and rehydration venues.
