DC Randonneurs will be sponsoring an International Women’s Day ride on Saturday, March 11, 2023. The ride will be an opportunity to join celebrations with women occurring all over the world, including with neighboring club the Northern Virginia Randonneurs, who have a 200k as part of the regional event. Both rides will gather at the Starbucks on MacArthur Blvd for a pre-ride picture and talk before heading off at 7:00 AM. Riders will largely be together until the routes diverge in Seneca around mile 18.

The ride starts in Northwest DC and uses frequently ridden roads to travel into rural Montgomery County.  Poolesville provides a mid-ride opportunity to re-supply.  Free street parking is available off MacArthur Boulevard at the start/finish, with a Starbuck's for pre-ride needs.  After the ride, riders are encouraged to meet up at Cafe Vino DC.
