August 29, 2023

Hi all,

Our next evening tandem ride will take place this Thursday, August 31, at 6 PM from Eastern Market. If you’d like to ride this week, please email mwaba.inc by Tuesday at 9 PM and we’ll send out the ride pairs and notify anyone on the waitlist by Wednesday afternoon.

Join us for Goalball at the Columbia Heights Community Center this Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The address is 1480 Girard Street NW, Washington, DC.

ON Monday, September 4, Labor Day, we’ll be holding a training session for folks participating in longer rides to go over techniques that can help reduce fatigue and saddle soreness, especially on rides with lots of stops and starts like the 50 States Ride. The training will take place at Eastern Market at 10 AM. If there’s interest, we may hold a ride after the training to practice the techniques. If you’re interested in participating, please email mwaba.inc by this Thursday and let us know if you’d like to attend just the training or also the post-training ride.

Master naturalist Meg Hathaway is leading our next MWABA hike at Roosevelt Island on September 17th. We’ll meet at the Rosslyn metro stop at 10 and the hike will be about 3 miles (including the walk to Roosevelt Island. Please sign up at the link below, if interested.
