Distance: 1.9 km from KensingtonMon, Jul 20, 2026 at 6:00 PMSee full details
The Junior Girls and U19 Women of Rock Creek Velo cordially invite you on an ice cream social ride.
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
-
a helmet and water - REQUIRED
-
bike lights AKA “blinkies” (front and back) if you have them
-
all your questions about bike racing and team life
-
your gelati, custard, milkshake, or Italian Ice order
Adult ride-alongs are encouraged. Registration and waivers are required for both junior and adult participants.
