Hello MWABA,

Join us for Hiking, Tandem Biking, Goalball, and Yoga!

November Hike

· Join us for our next hike on Sunday, November 2nd at 10 a.m. We’ll meet at Peirce Mill in Rock Creek Park, 2401 Tilden St. NW, DC. The hike will be about 3 miles and we might see horses! Sign up here: Hiking Sign-Up Sheet

Tandem Biking

· Sign up here by Tuesday at 8 p.m. for our last Thursday and Friday night rides of 2025: https://forms.gle/a3fC438hzv9aH8m89 We’d like some pairs to start the rides around 5:30, but feel free to sign up if you can’t ride until 6.

· Do you go gaga for data? MWABA will be using tandem ride data to improve the tandem pairing process, keep track of bike maintenance needs, and generate ride statistics to include in grants. If you are interested in helping with this effort, please reach out to Linh or email mwaba.inc. Experience with R, Python, and/or GitHub will be much appreciated, but an enthusiasm to learn is all that is really needed.
