Reston Bicycle Club upcoming events

5 PM Reston-Tuesday C/D (07/07/2026)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 21:00:00 GMT

The priorities of this ride are safety and fun. Don't draft too close, obey traffic signals and communicate with other riders and vehicles. Stay together and regroup at the typical spots. Welcome new riders.

We are paper-free, which means you can download the route from Ride with GPS and print it before you come, but we will not have paper cue sheets to distribute at the ride.

RBC A Ride - 3 loops (07/07/2026)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Ride Expectations

This ride is "race intensity." That means that the pace will be high, there will be accelerations, etc., and you can show off how strong you are. However, this is absolutely not a race. You cannot take the corners at full speed, because these are open roads. Do not risk your or another's safety to gain any competitive advantage. If you want to do these things, sign up for a race, this ride is not your opportunity.

Ride Safety Guidelines:

You must be registered for the ride on the RBC website.
You are responsible for the riders behind you. Do not enter an intersection unless it is safe for all of the riders behind you. If you enter an intersection and riders behind you stop for a car, you are expected to wait for them.
Do not cross the centerline of the road or pass slowing/stopped cars. Stay in the right lane of traffic at all times, except for when moving across to make a left turn.
Nobody is racing or attacking down Birdfoot. Ride single file down the hill and through the corner. We will slow roll at the bottom of Birdfoot to allow a regroup. Be careful if there is sand, cars, etc. at the bottom corner.
Help the group flow smoothly by protecting your front wheel, merging carefully into the draft, and holding your line and position into corners. If you don't want to pull, please communicate that clearly to other riders and stay at the back of the group so as to avoid disrupting the rotation at the front.
Look out for and call out branches, gravel, etc. on the road. Lawyers in particular always seems to accumulate branches and gravel in the bike lanes. Take the traffic lane when necessary.
No TT or tri bikes, clip on aero bars, or 'puppy paws' position. No e-bikes or earbuds. Move away from other people before blowing snot rockets. All bikes must have front and rear brakes - no fixies.

Please come prepared with the route and be aware of the included safety notes:

We are paper-free, which means you can download the route from Ride with GPS and print it before you come, but we will not have paper cue sheets to distribute at the ride.

All riders must sign (or have already signed for 2026) a liability waiver. You can do that HERE. The first ride with us is free. We welcome you to join us on subsequent rides as a member. Membership is $30 per year and you can take care of that HERE.

RBC Fox Mill Bs (07/07/2026)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Ride Expectations

This ride is a fast tempo ride with a few "sprint" points and subsequent regroups. Please respect the pace of the B group - average of 19-21 mph, steady effort, no "hero pulls" or "watt bombs." Follow all rules of the road: in particular, do not cross the centerline, and do not ride more than two abreast.

Regroup at:
- November Ct. (just after the turn onto Lawyers from Birdfoot);
- the top of Hunter Station (just before the turn onto Lawyers).
Be alert at:
- the bottom of Birdfoot (do not cut the corner; do not fan out);
- Running Cedar Rd. before the turn onto Soapstone Rd.;
- Hunter Station (again, do not fan out).

Ride Safety Guidelines:

You must be registered for the ride on the RBC website.
Follow all rules of the road. Do not cross the centerline of the road or pass slowing/stopped cars. Stay in the right lane of traffic at all times, except for when moving across to make a left turn. Do not ride more than two abreast.
You are responsible for the riders behind you. Do not enter an intersection unless it is safe for all of the riders behind you. If you enter an intersection and riders behind you stop for a car, you are expected to wait for them. It’s a misconception among cyclists that if one can beat a car through an intersection, one is entitled or even required to do so.
Ride with the group, and for the group. Call out potholes or debris, especially on Lawyer’s Rd. Please do not "race" the group.
Be considerate of the neighborhoods in which we ride, even if it requires the group to slow down.
No TT or tri bikes, clip on aero bars, or 'puppy paws' position. No e-bikes or earbuds. Move away from other people before blowing snot rockets. All bikes must have front and rear brakes - no fixies.

Wednesday Ramble (07/08/2026)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 12:30:00 GMT

Leesburg---Looking for Shade

For any relief from the heat, we'll start & end on Dry Mill @ Loudoun County HS. We'll tour to Purcellville via the W&OD, and return via Irene & Dry Mill. Choices?? Coffee in Purcellville; lunch in Leesburg??

Ramble? What is? A leisurely tour with combination of roads and the W&OD exploring new places as well as our RBC routes.

Still, the average speed of this ride hovers at 12 mph but leisurely. It is a good ride for retired, daytime free, new to cycling, or happy people.

Rides are not held when the forecast for rain is greater than 50% or temperature is below 30^o. Ride cancellations will be posted on Social Media.

We are paper-free, which means you can download the route from RidewithGPS and print it before you come, but we will not have paper cue sheets to distribute at the ride.

Thursday Women's D-E Ride - 146C (2X Caris Glenne) (07/09/2026)

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 22:00:00 GMT

We've added a new twist to the weekly route - we get to do Caris Glenne twice!

Keep an eye on updates as we watch the weather outlook for ride time.

Looking for a women's ride during the week? You've come to the right place! This is a no drop ride with a front ride leader and a sweep who will make sure everyone makes it to the end. The average pace is 14-16 mph over the course of the ride, but may be faster on flats and downhills. If you're not at that pace, consider the Monday Women's Ride from Fox Mill.

Optional post-ride libations (and pretzels if available) at Lake Anne Brew House for those that want to hang out.

We value every woman who wants to ride with us and work hard to find a place for each rider that works best for her.

Rides are not held when the forecast for rain is greater than 50%. Ride cancellations will be sent via email and posted under ANNOUNCEMENTS on the RBC website homepage.

Please have the route loaded on your phone or bike computer. Alternatively, you can print a copy from the Ride with GPS website.

If you drive to the start, parking is at the Lake Newport Lake House tennis courts.

All riders must sign (or have already signed for 2026) a liability waiver. You can do that HERE. The first ride with us is free. We welcome you to join us on subsequent rides as a member. Membership starts at $30 per year and you can take care of that HERE.

Look out for and call out branches, gravel, etc. on the road. Lawyers in particular always seems to accumulate branches and gravel in the bike lanes. Take the traffic lane when necessary.
No TT or tri bikes, clip on aero bars, or 'puppy paws' position. No e-bikes or earbuds. Move away from other people before blowing snot rockets. All bikes must have front and rear brakes - no fixies.

Please come prepared with the route and be aware of the included safety notes:

We are paper-free, which means you can download the route from Ride with GPS and print it before you come, but we will not have paper cue sheets to distribute at the ride.

Do not cross the centerline of the road or pass slowing/stopped cars. Stay in the right lane of traffic at all times, except for when moving across to make a left turn.
Nobody is racing or attacking down Birdfoot. Ride single file down the hill and through the corner. We will slow roll at the bottom of Birdfoot to allow a regroup. Be careful if there is sand, cars, etc. at the bottom corner.
Help the group flow smoothly by protecting your front wheel, merging carefully into the draft, and holding your line and position into corners.
