The Cider Ride

WABA Signature Event - Ride

Hot cider and donuts included.

Crisp autumn air, picture-perfect foliage, and a day spent on the Prince George’s County trails. Plus: cider and donuts. What more could you want out of a fall day?

Join us for a 60, 30, or 10 mile ride, followed by a post-ride celebration.

This ride is a fundraiser. Registration fees support WABA’s work in the DC region and our mission empowering people to ride bikes, build connections and transform places. Thank you.
