It’s Kidical Mass Season again! Hooray!
First up: a ride THIS SUNDAY – 4/6/14 meeting at Buzz Bakery in Ballston at 11:15am. We will ride to the APS Bike Show & Tell at W-L HS (which is basically around the corner from Buzz, but we’ll ride 3 miles to get there). Details here.
Next up: planning to rest of the year. Have any thoughts? Requests? Schedule? Routes? Stops? Events? You can post on this thread, or on our facebook page, or tweet @kidicalmassarl, or comment on the webpage.

Yesterday’s ride was really really awesome. I have to give an especially big THANK YOU to all the people who showed up without kids. Our own ArlingtonRider was there for her 200th ride of the day
, and number of teammates from the Veloworks-Spokes team came out in full kit and helped with ride marshaling, along with some others. I love all the parents and kids who come out and do the rides, and I’m so happy that they get to add a little biking fun to their family’s day, and meet other bikey families. But the kid-less adults who come out to help out and have fun… It just shows that we have such a great cycling community in this area, ready to show up and help get more families on bikes. The support really makes my job that much better, and I really, really, really appreciate it.And I’m sorry I forgot to bring the yellow marshal vests yesterday, and that we were late and a little hurried with the ride start. I am not a perfect ride organizer. Thanks for rolling with me.

Work up an appetite before your big meal! Do you want to get out and enjoy the crisp fresh air on a group ride before the big Thanksgiving feast, have a chance to get out of the house with the kids and let them burn off some energy, or just get out on your bike to enjoy some of our local trails on a beautiful Fall holiday? Join us for a Thanksgiving Day morning ride, the Cranksgiving ride.
When: Thursday, November 27, Thanksgiving Day, 10 am (roll out 10:15am – come early to play!)
Meet: Westover Park Playground Pavillion, 1001 N. Kennebec Street, just off of the Custis Trail
Parking: On surrounding neighborhood streets
End: Bluemont Park Playground, 329 N Manchester Street, just off of the Four Mile Run Trail (*those interested can ride back to Westover together)Route: https://goo.gl/maps/BbHoi
We start off at Westover Park Playground, one of Arlington’s many great neighborhood playgrounds. We’ll roll down the Custis Trail under I-66 and over to the Washington and Old Dominion Trail south past Wilson Blvd underpass, heading onto the Four Mile Run Trail shortly after passing the caboose. We’ll ride past the fields at Bluemont park and ride into the woods, where there is the Bluemont Park Playground. Ride is 1.2 miles one way. For those interested, we’ll let the kids play at the Bluemont Playground for a while and then we can ride back to Westover Park together. All are welcome – with and without kids.
In the spirit of giving thanks, we will also collect canned and boxed food for donation to AFAC. Donations are optional and voluntary.
