Washington DC: Hidden in Plain Sight

Washington D.C. is a city with so many memorials, you are likely to bump into one if you turn left or right. The major memorials and monuments are well known pilgrimage sights, but there are many forgotten, overlooked and lesser known memorials that are still significant, fascinating, and beautiful. If you live in DC, you may have passed some of these historic markers and monuments but never realized it. What better way to cover some ground and discover some new sights around DC than by bike! Join Jeff Miller, the DC Cycling Concierge for a memorable and casual/relaxed pace 3-hour bicycle ride as we check out a wide range of different memorials. The 8- to 10- mile ride includes several stops. We will be riding some city streets, but the route will be on quieter streets, streets with bike lanes, and bike trails, as much as possible. Jeff gets solid 5-star reviews for the engaging way he educates, enlightens and inspires everyone – even long-time DC residents. Sign up today!
