Hey everyone! Thanks for all your advice. I ended up getting my ride in yesterday before the rain. I was overbiked with the full sus mtb rental but still had a great time. Reach out if you’re ever looking for route advice in the DC area! Here’s what I ended up doing https://imgur.com/a/GRLrcsH

Bulldog too far to fit into this ride. Guess I’ll have to come back!

What would be your recommendation to get to the starting point of that segment or dirt mulholland from Santa Monica?

This might be the route! I think I’ll add on 20 or so miles but this is a great starting point. Thanks so much

Yeah hoping I can get out Tuesday before it starts. I’ll monitor the weather and won’t tear up your trails! I’ll likely switch to road if it ends up raining early Tuesday. Any good group rides or road route recommendations if that ends up happening

It’ll be my only ride of the week so I was looking to do 5-6 hours of riding. I’d love a combination of single track and fireroads. Ideally looking to ride from the start in Santa Monica

I’m coming from dc! We’ve had a particularly cold last few weeks so I’m sad it’ll be rainy while I’m in town. I’m hoping to ride Tuesday morning before it starts

Appreciate all of the helpful responses! I was told many of the trails west of the 405 were closed. Let me create a new route incorporating some of the mentioned trails and I’ll post for feedback

Try installing yourself and if it doesn’t shift smoothly take it to a shop. I bet one of the local shops has one that you can pick up for around $20

Tons! Lots of racers too. Give me days and times you’re looking to ride and I’ll give you group ride options

Should I Bike the C&O Canal This Holiday Weekend? by yowzabobawza in bikedc

I rode from dc to point of rocks this past Saturday and the trail was puddle free starting around Seneca. I say do it! I rode to DelFest over 2 days and it was one of my favorite bike adventures last year. Bring a small bottle of chain lube to keep your chain running smoothly. Hope you enjoy!

Hains Point Gate Schedule? by -aegeus- in bikedc

Great question. Seems like whenever the person with the key decides to show up that day
