DC Bike Ride said it will return to the streets of D.C. on Sept. 10.
Bikers will line up in West Potomac Park in Southwest D.C. at 8 a.m. and take a 20-mile car-free tour of the city.
The route will include selfie stops, live music, rest areas and an ice cream stop sponsored by Wildgood Ice Cream, according to a news release.
The ride ends on Maryland Avenue and 3rd street in Southwest, where cyclists will be met with a “Finish Festival” presented by Sibley Memorial Hospital.
The festival, held in front of the U.S. Capitol Building on 3rd street, will include food trucks, FITDC fitness classes and a DJ.
Riders ages 3 and up are eligible to participate. Adult registration starts at $69, cyclists between 3 and 7 years old can ride for free and children 8 to 17 can ride for half price.
Anyone looking to register can do so by visiting the DC Bike Ride website.
