Trek Rockville Spring Classic Ride (Remote Start)

Road riders, rejoice! Join us for our intermediate-level, Spring Classic group bike ride.

Come experience the hidden gem every cyclist should know about - the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve! Just a short drive from busy suburban Rockville streets, you'll experience quiet country roads as you cycle past farms and orchards.

This 24-mile route will give you views of Sugarloaf mountain and will stop at Locals Farm Market at the end of the ride where you can sit for a quick coffee or stay a while for a sumptuous lunch. Join us to see why Poolesville and the MoCo Ag Reserve is THE best place to bike and understand why preserving this pocket of un-developed Montgomery County is an important effort. *
