TROT's Anacostia Ride

ElliesMom · 11-02-2009, 09:31 AM

Anacostia Park - Saturday, November 14th
Led by John Angevine, this is a favorite TROT ride that closes out our ride season. Folks who have attended this ride say they are amazed with the spacious trails and beautiful scenes along the Anacostia River so close to downtown DC. The ride may encounter bikes, fishermen, some asphalt, as well as a scenic view of the historic Lincoln Cemetery. Contact John at 301-937-0014

Anybody want to come with me, I will meet you there or ride share (Near Bryans Road)

I REALLY want to do this ride, and I can leave the kids home with hubby, or take my oldest if we are meeting there.

Yea, more info. How long is the ride? Is it mild enough for a semi-retired horse? Cost? Where is the start location?

I wouldn't mind going either. DFSquare, you wanna?

ElliesMom · 11-02-2009, 10:53 PM

Ok, the uy called me back at 930pm. So here are the important details until I do a little recon on the location (which way in is best, or hubby will let me go in...)

Parking at Paint Branch Park in Anacostia (researching)
Helmet (for everyone, not optional at all) and Coggins required.
Bring in h2o and be prepared to clean up after yourself.
Leisurely paced led (not marked) ride. (welcome to kick up if you need to)
Will cross roads, see cyclists, children and people fishing...
Good footing, firm and soft alongside pavend trails.
1.5 hours out, and a little quicker coming back

No park or entrance fees
Riding fee: must be a member....20$
They usually have "snacks" after the ride, and there is a restraunt across the street from parking.

The park is evidently across from the:

94th Aero Squadron Restraunt
5240 Paint Branch Pkwy
College Park, MD 20740

I will take a drive this week and check it out (unless someone is familiar) and check ou the parking (was advised it was ample)
