Discover Fairfax City by Bicycle

Anywhere you need to go in Fairfax City, a bike trail is not too far away. FABB is hosting a social ride to give WABA members a chance to share ideas about transportation cycling while enjoying a leisurely ride through Fairfax’s parks and neighborhoods. We will navigate a gently rolling 11-mile loop, returning to our starting point in time for lunch at one of the eclectic restaurants that make Old Town Fairfax a favorite bicycling destination. WABA Members only (for insurance reasons). Helmets required.

Date:  06/30/2012 9 a.m.

Rain Date:  07/07/2012 9 a.m. **Rain date will be announced by 7am on ride day.  Look for an email and check our events page.
