Meeting Location:

200 Lamberton Drive Wheaton, MD 20902.  Meet at the end of Lamberton Drive where you will see our Roots to Rocks Trailer.  Trail access starts here.

Led by 2 instructors, with safety and fun in mind, the Roots to Rocks Group Ride is a great way to get out and experience the amazing network of trails found all throughout Montgomery County Parks trail system.

• This is a no rider left behind group ride – think “party pace”
