Freezing Saddles 2023 Rides, Events, Outings, Etc.

[Kbikeva]

Like chocolate? I'm leading a ride from Vienna to City of Fairfax for the Chocolate Lovers Festival on Feb 4 or 5 -- depends on which day looks better with weather. If you're interested, comment here and I'll keep you updated.

Starting Place will be at Vienna Caboose (there's a parking lot there. You get into it via Ayr Hill Ave). Starting time will be 11am. It's only about 7 miles each way to City of Fairfax. I will provide a route that shows the way back as well so you can leave when you're ready (i.e., not everyone has to stay together once we get there).

Bring a lock and some $$ for chocolate tastings!
