Group Road Rides - Friday

Washington County boasts some of the most scenic road riding in the state! Cruise out and enjoy scenic farms, hilly wooded landscapes, and nicely paved roads.

Group rides are free but all riders must register at the #RTAFest HQ prior to the start of the ride. Group rides have several ride leaders but are unsupported. Please bring all water, food, and repair items that you may need.

All group rides leave the #RTAFest HQ in Marietta Ohio. If you prefer to head out on your own, stop by to pick up a free map and route directions.
