Two Opportunities to Tour Reston by Bike
See Reston from the seat of a bicycle by joining one of two rides this month. Both the FABB Social Ride and the Pre-Feast Bike Ride are casual rides of 14 and 6 miles respectively.
There are two bike tours of Reston planned this month. Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling are sponsoring a FABB Social Ride - Reston Tour on Saturday, November 17 starting at 9 a.m. at Reston Town Center Pavilion. The ride will be a casual tour of various sights in the Reston area on Saturday, November 17 at 9 a.m.
Starting at the Reston Town Center Pavilion, sights include bike lanes on Lawyers Road and Soapstone Drive, Walker Nature Center, Wiehle Ave Metro Station, Bowman House, historic Lake Anne, and Browns Chapel. We will ride at a slow pace as a group. The tour is just over 14 miles with a shorter option of approximately 10 miles. Free online registration is required. All riders must be WABA members, wear a helmet, and sign the ride waiver. There is no rain date.
