Prizes
The top men and ladies get their choice of pies while the rest of us choose in order of finish time.
Disclaimer/Amenities
This is a low-budget but fun event that we’ve done over and over again to fill in gaps in the running schedule (“pie filler” Get it?). The race is adequately marked, measured, and timed, but there is minimal aid (one water station you pass twice with just water that could be self-serve if no one shows up to help). There is no traffic control (but there’s very little traffic out there).
As always, everyone runs at their own risk (not a race for pre-teen children to run on their own).
Come out, have a great run, and share some pie!
Logistics
The race will be chip timed, but still please make sure that you stay in order as you cross the finish line where volunteers will scan your bib -- we do this as a backup to resolve any missed chip reads which might occur.

If you are a junior girl age 9 - 18 by December 31, 2027 and you would like to learn more about the world of competitive cycling this ride is for you! The only thing we love more than riding bikes is talking about riding bikes, oh yeah, and ice cream. Did we mention that we will stop mid ride at Carmen's in Kensington for a ride snack?
Meet at Veirs Mill Local Park at the north end of Beach Drive at 5:45 with a 6:00 pm safety briefing and rollout. The ride is just over 5 miles each way. Our route takes us on Rock Creek Trail until we turn onto Kensington Parkway. We will ride on the road on Kensington Parkway until we reach Carmen's. After enjoying our frozen treats, we will follow the same path in reverse. You can find the entire route linked below.
Your rider should be able to manage a 10 mile ride on mostly flat, smooth surfaces without stopping in order to participate.
To join us on Monday, July 20th. You will need:
a bike - any bike in good working condition will do

all your questions about bike racing and team life
your gelati, custard, milkshake, or Italian Ice order
