The Anacostia Trails Heritage Association is hosting a "rivers to rockets" bike ride from the Bladensburg marina to Greenbelt this Saturday. This might be a fun family ride for people wishing to explore the Anacostia Tributary Trails.
The ride is Saturday May 19th, starting at 8:30am at the Bladensburg Marina -- it goes along the NE branch trail (mostly) to Greenbelt and back.
All are welcome to join us as we "ride to the ride" from Greenbelt/College Park. We will leave Greenbelt (New Deal Cafe) at about 7:45, go past Lake Artemesia parking lot at about 8:00, the Wells Ice Rink parking lot at about 8:10am and get to the ride start at the marina by the start time of 8:30am (just in time to turn around and head back to Greenbelt, probably). The ride to Bladensburg from Greenbelt is about 7 or 8 miles I think, mostly flat.

There is a fee for the ride, but I think they're providing food.
