A seasonal favorite returns to make your Christmas holidays merry and bright.  Join your intrepid cold weather ride leaders for a leisurely tour of Fort Hunt neighborhoods to view decorations sure to charm and delight.  Expect to travel at less than 10 mph, cycling as a group so no rider gets left behind.  11.8 miles with only 226' of elevation change.  Dress warmly with temps forecast in the lower 30s but always feeling even colder in the dark.  Front and rear lights are mandatory; reflective vest is strongly encouraged.  No facilities on this route.
