The Broadview 116 W. University Pkwy, Baltimore, MD

This will be a short memorial ride for one of our own. We will adjust details about the ride as the date approaches. Please keep checking back. Comments are welcome.

Two years ago we lost JHU engineering student Nathan Krasnopoler in a tragic bicycle accident. He was biking in a bike lane with all the proper cycling gear right across from his university when an elderly driver hit him. His parents continue to fight for meaning in his death, and for the rest of us as well. The Krasnopolers are launching an organization, Americans for Older Driver Safety, to help prevent this tragedy from happening again. Let's show our support, both for Nathan and his family's initiative by doing what we do best...riding together.

Here are articles regarding the accident:

Lake Montebello Curran Drive, Baltimore , MD

This week we'll be working on hard, fast efforts around Lake Montebello. There is a simple and effective plan for this workout, but there are a couple rules to follow to make it work. We will explain what needs to happen 10 minutes before the start.

What you need to know:
• We’ll start rolling at 7PM. Be at the south parking lot at 6:50PM
• It’s dark. Have decent lighting.
• You can participate with any bike, BUT you’ll have more fun on a road-style bike.
• You will need good reflexes on this ride. Let's save the boozing for afterwards.

questions? bring 'em

Washington Monument

That's right, it's been friggin' HOT out there! So what better way to theme our next ride than a BEACH party! Rock your best board shorts or bikini tops (or whatever you want to wear) and bring along a beach ball and water guns as we party our way through Baltimore!

The route, as usual, will be posted later in the month, but we know we are going to pass the Orioles game (like in May) AND make our notorious impromptu dance party at the convention center during Otakon! Our finish this year is confirmed at the sandy boardwalk of Bay Cafe in Canton with happy hour drink prices for all of us! ($3.50 drinks, across the board, minus top shelf) so be sure to plan on joining us after the ride for drinks and food!

Like always, meet us at the monument at 7pm for a 7:30 sharp roll out time! for more information visit our website www.baltimorebikeparty.com, especially if you haven't been out with us before!

Spring has sprung and the Monument to Monument ride is upon us. We had over 35 riders last year. I'm hoping for a big diverse group of eager riders again this year. 

M2M is a 92 mile roundtrip single day bike ride from Baltimore to Washington DC on safe, lightly trafficked roads. We keep it slow and steady for this ride, enjoying the company of fellow riders and the excitement of arriving in another city by bicycle.
