Last chance to sign up for the tandem ride this Saturday in Bethesda at 11 a.m.! Sign up here by Wednesday at 5: https://forms.gle/hBuMi26weiMVdCGh6 We’re hoping that the forecast will improve, and we’ll decide if we need to postpone on Friday.
MWABA is planning a series of bike maintenance classes on Tuesday evenings. The dates are March 4, March 25, and April 1. All are invited, and we’ll need some sighted members to help guide the hands-on experience for our blind and visually impaired participants. The classes will be led by Leah Fantle of the Upshift Workshop. The classes will start at 6:30 p.m. at the R.E.I. flagship location in D.C., at 201 M Street Northeast. The content of each class will differ from week to week, so sign up for as many as you’d like to attend. More details on the planned content of each class will follow. Sign up here:
