It’s about a 15-mile-long ride, according to the event page, and it’s a mix of trails and neighborhood streets. You’re encouraged to register, but you can also join the day of. Just don’t forget your bike, helmet, and water.

Get some new(ish) denim
This Friday, head over to the Adams Morgan Community Center for a free night of fashion and learning. You bring your own denim (or use denim available from Goodwill), and event organizers will bring the paints and other decorations to upcycle your old clothes. And if you buy any denim, the proceeds go towards Goodwill’s Job Training Programs. The fashion designer who created dresses for the Hirshhorn Ball, Evan Ibrahim, will also be present at the event, teaching a free, “no-sew” workshop.
