If I were anywhere near Marriott HQ I’d definitely stop by this pit stop. Thanks Marriott and Steve for setting up what sounds like an awesome BTWD stop.

Awesome day! We had over a hundred riders come through our stop. If you were one of them, thanks for spending part of your Bike to Work Day with us. The weather was perfect, our sponsors were terrific – All American Bikes, Revolution, Corner Bakery, 5 hour Energy, Bakery de France – and we gave out a lot of Marriott breakfast gift certificates and prizes. Will post links to pics if anyone is interested.

Anyone riding from Leesburg/LoCo to MoCo/Bethesda on BTWD? One of our Marriott riders is making the trek from Lansdowne via White’s Ferry. If anyone from LoCo rolls into our Rock Springs Business Park Pit Stop, hit me up for refreshments. And if you don’t register at Leesburg, register with us. We’ll be open 6:30-9:30.

Update: Welcoming All-American Bicycles from Damascus as our second bike shop sponsor! Plus, we are raffling off a Trek 7.2 FX commuter bike! Great odds of winning compared to Bethesda, and we will have food, music, and other great prizes! Register and Ride to the Marriott HQ Pit Stop at Rock Springs Business Park. We are at the intersection of Fernwood Road and Rockledge Drive. See you next Friday!

If there are any Maryland riders, I know that Bethesda is the biggest pit stop – especially for those heading down the Crescent to DC. It was my stop for 3 years on my route from Tenleytown to my office at Marriott HQ in the Rock Springs Business Park.

But last year, I helped Marriott launch their inaugural pit stop and it was an awesome experience. Revolution Cycles provided wrench support and we had over 100 riders roll through our stop. I know it isn’t as many as Bethesda and pales in comparison to Freedom Plaza, but our grand prize was a Trek Atwood – a steel-framed, urban “throwback” ride. So do the math -those are pretty good odds for winning a bike!

We will have a DJ, pastries and fruit, and more raffle prizes- including Marriott gift certificates – and you can still roll down to Bethesda and get stuff there (if you don’t mind long lines). But you must register and ride to our Marriott HQ pit stop at 10400 Fernwood Rd to enter and win our raffles. We’ll be picking out a bike from Revolution shortly, so hit me up for more details, or follow me via Twitter @marrvelo for more news and noise: would love to hear from any riders who roll down Fernwood, Bradley, Tuckerman, Old Georgetown Road, or work in North Bethesda – be sure to look for our Marriott jerseys during your commutes and say “Hey, MarrVelo!”

We had a lot of NIH riders last year, which was awesome – great jerseys! Hope to see you all again this year!Our “pit shop” will take place 6:30-9:30 a.m. Register here: http://www.biketoworkmetrodc.org/. Again, remember to select “MD – Rock Springs Business Park” as your official pit stop when registering! See you May 18, if not sooner!

Keep riding!

We have just begun to offer this benefit at Marriott HQ. We earned an Honorable Mention LAB designation last year and we plan on improving this year. We are trying to grow our commuter base – only a handful of year-round riders – but we still need people to commit.

One interesting thing we did was upgrade our bike racks this year. We tore out the employee gas pumps and installed brand new Park-a-Bike racks and bike lockers. Poetic justice? You tell me.
