June 2023 - PRIDE (and Polls!) - Saturday, June 17, meet 10:15am Rocky Run Park

Love is love is love and we celebrate PRIDE to show all kids are welcome!

We'll meet at Rocky Run Park (come early - it's a super fun park) and wind our way around neighborhood streets around Clarendon & the Lyon Village neighborhood, including the tiny Custis Road Trail and the Veitch Street protected bike lane. The route is just under 3 miles with no big hills. We'll cross all major streets at traffic lights.

We'll end the ride at Courthouse Plaza - where registered voters can pop in to the Bozman Center to VOTE (early voting is open for the Democratic Primary for 2 open County Board seats, the Commonwealth's attorney, Sheriff, and certain Virginia House & Senate seats that
have contested primaries. The Washington Post has this handy guide.)

Everyone is welcome on the ride, and we will go as slow as our slowest rider. The ride is best suited for elementary-aged kids, new riders (no training wheels or scooters) and those who are happy to go at a very casual pace.  It's helpful to remind competitive kids that this is not a race. 

RSVPing to our Facebook event is not necessary but helps us know who to expect.
