Hi Dan,

Check out the Ptomac Pedalers website. They have some great weeknight rides
for speed. Thursdays at 6:30 they do a ride starting from Bellehaven park
of the Mt Vernon trail.

http://www.bikepptc.org/July09Rides

*B (MH) * 18-25 * VA * 6:30 PM * Belle Haven Picnic Area (BEL)*
*Belle Haven Blast*. This long running and social training ride has a bit of
everything. A relatively flat first half that offers a lot of opportunities
for serious speed work yields to almost unrelenting hills for the last 10 -
12 miles. The ride usually breaks up into several different groups - with a
punishing pace at the front. Kathryn.Momot [Kathryn.Momot@...

703/200-3113.
