Join Fellowship Riders for our last ride of the season! EVENT INFORMATION < Previous Event Back to Upcoming Events Back Next Event > Fellowship Riders - Last Ride! FRESH EXPRESSIONS EVENT Saturday, Oct. 17th | 11:00am Pohick Golf Course Join the Fellowship Riders for our last ride of the season on Saturday, October, 17th . Please note the change in time. We will be meeting at 11:00am. We will start the our nice Fall ride at Pohick Golf Course parking lot to the park's Visitor Center and return. The total length will be approximately 12.5 miles on a paved bike trail and infrequently traveled roads with a few gentle hills. There is also a paved trail through the woods that parallels the roads, but it is narrow, bumpy, and not well maintained. The ride will begin at 11:00 AM (note new time) and end at 1:00 PM. Lunch is available at the Pro Shop afterwards, if desired. This has been one of our most popular rides in the past, especially if one of the resident eagles decides to join us like one did on our first ride. Whether you're a regular rider or thinking about joining for the first time, we'd love to have you along. Mark your calendar and invite a friend! Bikers of all ages and skill levels are welcome!
