This organized ride seems similar to the former BikeDC event organized by WABA.  

This ride is a 17 mile car free experience around the mall, through Georgetown, and out toward the Pentagon.   

It would be fun to get a group together if others are interested.

Apologies for assuming all might realize DC is Washington, DC!

Here I thought DC was the District of Colombia. Now I'm all confused. Sardonic grin.

With abandon,

Patrick

My wife and I are strongly considering it. We'll be on our Cannonade Tandem, which is way off-topic. Hard to imagine DC without cars. Should be fun.

Tom,
A tandem sounds like a great choice for this ride. I rode The BikeDC event in 2002/2003(can't remember exact year). Route highlights included Freedom Plaza, out and back on a portion of the GW Parkway, around RFK Stadium, and across the Sousa Bridge. The only negative were the number of participants. I rode with three friends and it was a challenge at times to stay together. A tandem would eliminate that issue for you and your wife.
All the best,
Erl

Sounds awesome Erl, I'm going to pencil it in.

Thanks Erl for the heads up. We've been riding the NYC 5 Boro bike tour for the past few years (we're registered for this year). Maybe I'll be able to talk my family/friends into doing this one as well.

I plan on riding with my wife and kids.  Though I think I'll haul the kids on my Xtracycle and my wife will ride her Betty Foy.

I might actually brave the train ride from NC for this one now that Amtrak allows bikes on trains. Sign me up (tentatively) for a Riv contingent (if there's one).

I'm looking forward to it; Hope to see some fellow Riv riders.  Plan to bring the Saluki.

I have to work that weekend. Too bad. That would be fun to ride in a Riv-group and take in the sights.
