Saturday Group Ride ”“ 9:00 AM ”“ Riley’s Lock ”“ Potomac, MD
NOTE ”“ WE’VE MOVED THE RIDE!!!
We did Boyce last weekend so wanted to change it up this weekend ”“ Riley’s Lock is nearby and a great Team Z ride. Veterans have done it many times. Newbies – these routes are primarily on country roads with light traffic… if you aren’t comfortable on your bike this, would be a great first ride with the team!
Parking: Please note that there are two parking lots a few hundred yards apart. If the lot on the end of the road fills please don’t try to invent spaces. Just use the lot right up the road.
