Camping Trip Survey: We hope you’re ready for a thrilling outdoor experience! As we gear up for an exciting group activity, we are contemplating a one or two-night bike camping trip (or possibly multiple trips), and we would love your input to make it an unforgettable adventure for all. Picture this – a rejuvenating escape into nature, cycling through scenic landscapes, and spending the night under the stars. We had a wonderful 2023 bike camping trip
(https://www.adventurecycling.org/blog/trip-recap-bike-camping-with-the-metro-washington-association-of-blind-athletes/)
and we’re considering returning to the same campsite as last year, the Marsden Tract on the Potomac River. Of course, we’re open to exploring other options that align with the group’s preferences.
Important Details:
Duration: One or Two Nights
Camping Location: Marsden Tract (or possibly another site further away from DC if there’s sufficient interest in a longer biking distance)
Facilities: Please note that the Marsden Tract has port-a-potties and water, but no showers.
Before we finalize the details, we want to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey linked below by January 21st. Your preferences will help us tailor this adventure to suit the group’s collective interests:
