I have this quiet little inventory that I keep in my head of the states in which I have ridden a bike for five miles. So it will not surprise you that WABA's 50 States Ride is oh so intriguing to me. On one day, with only sixty miles of riding you can say that you have ridden your bike on all fifty states (streets). Here is the information for your consideration:
The Fifty States Tour, a 60-plus mile route where participants will ride on every state-named street in DC, takes place on Saturday, October 15th. The tour is part of WABA’s mission to promote cycling for fun, fitness, and transportation throughout the year. From Alabama to Wyoming, all 50 state-named streets in the Nation’s Capital will be covered by the riders on the Fifty States Tour.
The 50 States Tour is for more experienced urban cyclists used to riding in city traffic and WABA encourages all participants to bring tools, extra tools and a pump on their ride.
Can't do the full 60 miles? Then ride the 13 Colony Tour. Similar to the 50 States Tour, this is a cue sheet only ride that hits all of the original 13 colonies. The approximate distance is 30 miles.
Start Location: WABA office at 733 15th Street NW
Start Times: 50 States Tour begins at 8am
13 Colony Ride begins at 9am
Fees: cue sheets for both routes are $10
Payment for the tours will occur on the day of the event. Please RSVP by sending us an email at waba@waba.org or call us at 202-628-2500.
