favorite item that makes you all happy inside and extra points to
those dressed up as Pilgrims or Indians (extra extra points if you can
do both at once!).

Summer Solstice Cruise (6/22)

The only thing better than the longest day of the year is riding your bike with your homies in celebration of the longest day of the year! Come next Tuesday (6/22) with your bike, your friends, and your best Summer Solstice outfit. We'll meet at the park between Mt. Pleasant and Lamont streets @ 8:30pm and cruise shortly thereafter.

RIDE YER BIKE!! (5/18)

What luck! For this Cruiser Ride we not only get to celebrate Bike Month (yes, May is bike month, folks ), but the Cruise also happens to fall in the middle of Bike-to-Work Week with the grand finale being Bike-to-Work Day on Friday (5/21). So let's get out there and show our support for the bike, and promote Bike Month at the same time.

Bring all your friends--and all their bikes!!

Meet:

Mt Pleasant Park @ 8:30pm

Tax Free Cruise (4/13)

We'll cruise this month in honor of DC's most famous motto: "Taxation Without Representation. But I promise, you will not be taxed while on this cruise--at least not by me!

Bring your friends and come dressed as your best interpretation of the motto. And if you're anything like me and haven't done your taxes yet, maybe this can be your impetus to get them done, for it's no fun to cruise with such a task hanging over your head!

Cruisers meet 4/13 at 8:30pm at Mt. Pleasant Park between Lamont and Mt. Pleasant Streets.

The Oirish Cruise (3/16)

St Patty's Day is comin' up next Wednesday and so, in true "Oirish" fashion, we're going to celebrate the night before (so yez can recover all day the followin').

Get on yer luckiest shirt, get yer arse on yer bike, and come cruisin' in search of the wee folk and their pot o' gold. Of course we'll end at the Raven to fill up with a bit of vitamin G.

We'll meet up at the Mt. Pleasant Park at 8:30pm, to begin cruising shortly thereafter.

FAT CRUISE-DAY!!! (2/16)

Folks, drag out your purple, green, and gold, slap on those beads and let's get ridin'! The weather next week is supposed to be manageable (mostly sunny during the day with high 36, low 25), so hopefully we'll be able to actually cruise. Whatever happens, we'll end up at the Raven to enjoy a nice beverage and warm up a bit.

Meet at the plaza between Mt. Pleasant and Lamont streets at 8:30pm.

MLK Cruise (1/19)

Cruise on Tuesday in honor of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and help continue to promote his message of tolerance and acceptance through peaceful means. We'll meet at the Mt. Pleasant park (see map) at 8:30pm on Tuesday, January 19, to begin our cruise. The Cruise, as always, ends with a thirst quencher at The Raven Bar.
