One of the best parts of a nice ride is enjoying a well-earned treat! Every Saturday at 11:30 a.m., join us for a pleasant ride of 15-20 miles, traveling at a pace of approximately 10 mph. We'll either bring snacks or stop by a bakery/café to have a treat midway through.

Everyone is welcome and it’s a great way to meet new people and share common interests: cycling and tasty treats!

The Cupcake Ramble bike ride is occasionally rolling - check the Ride Facebook Group for updates.

Come join us every Sunday at 9:00 am in front of Arrow Bicycle in Hyattsville for a ride through scenic PG County.

Finish at Town Center Market's bike friendly patio in Riverdale Park or at Arrow. RSVP on Strava.

This is the “premier” ABRT group ride. This ride has been in existence since before the formation of ABRT over 30 years ago. The ride is 60 miles and travels to south to North Beach in Calvert County, mostly on smaller roads, and back. The ride takes 2:45 to 3:15 pedaling time (18-21+ mph, slower in winter) and is about 60 miles. The first part of the ride usually stays together for the most part and very often on the second half the ride will split into various groups. Often there will be a dedicated slower “B” group (16-18 mph) which will let the faster riders go and this group typically does a shorter ride of 42 miles to Deale and there are often regroup spots.

Regardless of group, riders should always be prepared to ride alone of they can not reasonably maintain the group pace, so should always bring a GPS enabled device if the route is not familiar. The time change happens after memorial/labor day weekends.

Time: 8 am (summer: Memorial Day-Labor Day), 9 am (fall/spring: Labor Day-December/March-Memorial Day, 10 am  (winter – December-March)

The Nice & Easy ride is just that: nice and easy. This ride is for beginners and those looking for a relaxing start to the day. The one-hour ride helps beginners to feel more secure in a group while learning to ride safely and comfortably on a short, easy-paced ride of five miles.

Join us on a moderately hilly winter ride to Poolesville with a rest stop at Cafe 107.

From Java Shack, it’s about 50 miles with 2,900ft for the full ride. We usually stay together at a brisk pace for the first 17 miles, until Tuckerman road, where breakaways should be expected. At the one-lane bridge where Glen Rd meets Glen Mill Rd, there's a shortcut option (46 miles, 2,100ft) for those who don't want to do the rollers. At the 27-mile mark, we head back along Piney Meeting House Rd, then circle back toward DC via River Rd to Falls Rd. We regroup at the top of Great Falls Park (37-mile mark), and return together on MacArthur.

We roll promptly at 8:35am from the Java Shack in Arlington, stopping briefly at 8:55 am at Pierce Mill to pick up DC riders. The ride lasts about 3 hours.

Welcome back to a PPTC tradition, the Winter Ride.  We have been going strong for more than a decade.  The series runs from December through March.  This is a multi-class ride, with a variety of lengths to suit your preference on any given Sunday.  We have multiple ride leaders (see below) and can have up to 50 riders on a good day, so you are very likely to find someone riding your pace and distance.

The ride does not go if there is precipitation (snow or rain) or if the roads are very slick due to recent precipitation.  Check this listing on any given Sunday to see if the ride has been canceled on a particular day.

The ride starts at the Adventure Playground at South Germantown Recreational Park.  One of the reasons for the ride start location is the heated bathrooms available year 'round.  In addition, we will be riding on low traffic roads in the Montgomery Ag Reserve.
