    Like chocolate? I’m leading a ride from Vienna to City of Fairfax for the Chocolate Lovers Festival on Feb 4 or 5 — depends on which day looks better with weather. If you’re interested, comment here and I’ll keep you updated.

    Starting Place will be at Vienna Caboose (there’s a parking lot there. You get into it via Ayr Hill Ave). Starting time will be 11am. It’s only about 7 miles each way to City of Fairfax. I will provide a route that shows the way back as well so you can leave when you’re ready (i.e., not everyone has to stay together once we get there).

    Bring a lock and some $$ for chocolate tastings!

    Ride starts at the Wiehle East-Reston Metro Plaza in front of Starbucks. If you’re arriving by metro, turn left after you go through the fare gates.

    Don’t know what to do today, last minute planner?
    Join Team 4 at The Bike Lane, Reston, MM16.5 of the W&OD at 1 pm. The route is currently 22 miles. The Route is: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41975799 Starts out through some of my favorite roads through Reston/Herndon, more riding than sightseeing. Then we’ll see some of my favorite haunts Dranesville Civil War stuff and some art. At Duck, Duck, Goose will have a check-in to see if we want to do the Reston Town Center loop or just press on for beer.
