Cherry Blossom 20 mi at 12-14 MPH on SUNDAY - Annual Ride for all levels

Jim Black will lead a ride to view the cherry blossoms. This has been a popular annual event. Bring your camera and be prepared for frequent stops and sight-seeing.

This will be a leisurely slow ride of about 20 miles to Hains Point, West Potomac Park, and the riverside in Northern Virginia, returning by way of the Lincoln Monument and the National Mall. We will have to walk through crowds in some areas. RidewithGPS route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42279390  The cue sheet has a lot of extraneous entries but the route map is accurate.
