Hello MWABA,

Goalball:

Tandem Activities:
We have lots of tandem activities this week! In addition to our Thursday night Bethesda ride, we’re participating in the D.C. Bike Party on Wednesday night–an 8ish mile slow ride around D.C. with many bikes and music. We’ll meet at the Eastern Market metro around 7 p.m. Sign up here for the D.C. Bike Party ASAP and for the Thursday night ride by Tuesday night: https://forms.gle/8KCBqKwYWEA3PCiTA

We’re tabling at the D.C. Bike Expo in Georgetown this Saturday. Sign up here to volunteer: https://forms.gle/4TwfrTwNy6omTq9n7 (and/or to table at 50 States). We’ll share a discount code for free registration for Bike Expo volunteers. If you aren’t volunteering, use the discount code CLUB for a 50% discount ($5 admission), and students can attend for free: DC Bike Expo | Washington Area Bicyclist Association (waba.org)

Sign up for the "special event" bike rides this fall! These rides include the 50 States Ride on September 21, the Pumpkin Ride on October 26, and the Cider Ride on November 2. If you’re interested in doing any of these rides please sign up here:

Rock Creek Park Hike:

You can sign up using the link below by 11:59pm on Tuesday, September 17. We’re looking forward to getting back out there for some great hikes this fall!

Baseball:
Mary Flood is getting a group of MWABA members and MWABA wannabes together to go to a Nationals game. They are playing the KC Royals on Tuesday, September 24 at 6:45 PM. You can go on the MLB tickets website and click on Tuesday Deals and Steals. Then scroll to the game on the 24th and decide how many you want. Mary is sitting in Section 236, if you want to sit in the same section. Make sure you look at the list of policies of the park before you go if you’ve never been there. They are pretty strict with what they allow you to take in and the sizes it has to be. If you have any questions, email Mary at camflood1.

See you out there!
