Capital Crescent Trail – DC Rail Road - 17 miles

This a very popular trail for cyclists on an abandoned railroad, starting in Downtown Bethesda (park in the Montgomery County parking lot on Bethesda Avenue) meet us at the beginning of the trail next to Ourisman Honda at 6.30 pm

We will start rolling downhill toward Georgetown, DC. Ride about 7-8 miles next to the Potomac River on your right, passing across some bridges and the Delecarlia Tunnel, the Roman arch brick tunnel, is 400-foot-long and built in 1910 underneath Mac Arthur Blvd. Used in the nineteenth century by Baltimore and Ohio, the first American railroad company to transport coal from Western Pennsylvania to Georgetown, DC

The entire trail is paved which is OK for any style of bike. 

Enjoy beautiful scenery surrounded by thick forests and amazing views of the Potomac River.

When we arrive at Georgetown we will take some pictures at the most iconic points and relax…
