Get Out And Go Tours

A few Trek Verve 3 hybrid bikes are available for sale from our rental fleet. For Winter, I could use a bit more garage work space fow Winter tune-ups, and I will clean, tune, and refresh all consumable parts that are worn (cables. Chain, brake pads, tires, etc.) and make them available for $400. I have 15" (5'1"-5'5"), 17.5" (5'6"-5'9"), 20" (5'9"-6'1"), and one 22.5" (6'1"-6'4") available.

There are a few charity bikes. Something for a variety of ages, heights, and budgets.

There is a Trek T200 tandem ($600) available, and a handful of road bikes and miscellaneous hybrids.

For all of you who have wanted a Trek Verve 3 hybrid bike, and I would not sell them...I will sell them. If I continue to rent bikes next year, I will refresh my fleet, but for now, I could use a bit more storage space, and will clean, tune, and refresh all consumable parts that are worn (cables. Chain, brake pads, tires, etc.) and make them available for $400. I have 15" (5'1"-5'5"), 17.5" (5'6"-5'9"), 20" (5'9"-6'1") available.

There are still two brand new Giant Escape hybrids in small available for $375.

I have a handful of Trek Marlin 7 MTB'S available for the same (15", 17", 18"), a couple road bikes ($900 aluminum with carbon fork), ($1,000 all carbon), $500 for one Reynolds 853 Schwinn Peloton, and $800 forna 58 cm all carbon bike.

Today's group set off from Point of Rocks, MD, mile 48.2 of the C&O Canal, with crisp, sunny weather and a hint of fall leaves. THIS is prime riding season for the C&O Canal.

The transport van can handle 15 bikes and people. We're thinking about a ride on the Canal this weekend. Anyone interested in riding with us?

Very pleased to report this status. Our tour Sep 22-24 will not have to go over the top. We win the game of chicken! It looks Waaaaaaaay different now.

Good news for those going on the Wheels for the World September 22-24, 2023 C&O Canal ride...we have set the starting (pick-up) location to be near Dulles Airport (IAD), which solves the problem of out-of-reach pre-ride and post-ride lodging cost near DC.

You will have a choice of brands (at various prices under, and a little over, $100/night), that include Holiday Inn (best rate), TownPlace suites (a Marriott Brand), and Hampton Inn (a Hilton brand), so you can pick your hotel based on brand affiliation for points, reserve your stay with points, or pick for price.

All three hotels are within a block of each other.

We will plan to have a pre-ride Happy Hour at the O'Malley's Pub (at Holiday Inn), Thursday evening [I am looking for a sponsor for this event], and each of the hotels offers breakfast in the morning for those who stay.

I will have the proposal and contract for a block of rooms across the three hotels, with pricing and registration links on Tuesday, so you can reserve.

You will only be about 10 minutes from Dulles airport, and flying in to there is simplest logistics -- these hotels each have an airport shuttle for easy transport.

If you are driving to the hotel and staying, that will be easy too, as we have worked out an arrangement for your car to remain at the hotel during the ride, which if not free, will be near so, eliminating the high parking cost near DC.

For those driving to the hotel and parking, but not staying, we anticipate a reasonable rate parking, to accommodate our trips success.

Finally, if you are flying to Reagan Airport (DCA) because it's cheaper, that's OK too. The Metro Silver Line now connects Dulles and Reagan airports, and you can ride it out. Even those staying at the Dulles area hotels can Metro in to DC for the day before the ride, or after, to sightsee.

My recommendation for an early arrival or late stay activity, is to visit the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Annex just south of Dulles Airport, to see early aircraft to the England Gay, U2, Concorde, and space shuttle Discovery, as well as watch an I-MAX movie.

You could also bike on the nearby W&OD trail, to one of the trailside micro-breweries (8, 20, or 26 miles round-trip), or restaurants in Herndon (8), Ashburn (16), Leesburg (28), DC (44), or Purcellville (54)

At the end of the trip, we will return riders and bikes to the Dulles hotels. Note: If we have a huge group, some riders may need to Metro to Dulles for pick-up.

We do not expect an after party/dinner this year. The happy hour to acquaint, and the last night's dinner (also looking for a sponsor) will be the main events.

Message me any questions.

Links, prices, and details will be added this week.
