What began as one person’s quest to bike every one of the 50 state streets in D.C. has blossomed into a yearly tradition of type two fun that you don’t want to miss. It’s an extravaganza of state streets, hills, tired legs, and wide smiles.
Choose Your Adventure:
Diamond Route, 60 miles— The route that started it all. A harebrained, hilly, and highly rewarding journey that hits all 50 state-named avenues and showcases every corner of the District. Includes over 2,700 feet of climbing and endless bragging rights.
Roundabout Route, 30 miles — Come full circle with a scenic loop that winds through 10 of the city’s iconic traffic circles and roundabouts, first envisioned by Pierre L’Enfant.
Triangle Route, 10 miles — Short but mighty! This route highlights great bike infrastructure and hidden gems that every DC rider should know and love.
`
Along the way, you’ll encounter energizing pit stops stocked with snacks and refreshments to help keep you fueled and fired up. Plus, every rider receives a special event t-shirt to commemorate the day!
Challenge yourself, discover new parts of the city, and connect with fellow riders— the 50 States Ride is your chance to experience DC from a fresh perspective and have a blast doing it.
