Our next tandem ride will be on Sunday, December 10th in Bethesda at 10 a.m. If you’d like to ride, RSVP to mwaba.inc by Wednesday, December 6th, and we’ll let you know if we have a spot for you by Friday, December 8th.

We are planning an evening tandem bike ride from Eastern Market on Sunday, Dec. 17. We’re thinking of joining WABITS (Washington Area Bicyclist In Tandem Society) on a ride they are doing to see holiday lights and monuments, so we would meet at Eastern Market at about 5:15 and then go join up with WABITS at Union Station by 6. The plan includes seeing the Capitol tree, the National tree and Menorah on the Ellipse, the White House, and various monuments. Please reply to mwaba.inc by Dec. 12 and we’ll confirm riding pairs by Dec. 14.

See you out there!
