FINALLY, a motorcycle group for those of us in the Bowie, Crofton, and Annapolis areas! 

We're looking for SAFE riders with some experience who like to get together for day trips and maybe the occasional weekend trip. There are lots of great back roads, nature preserves, beaches and more right in our own backyard ... or very nearby! Cruisers and touring bikes are the best fit ... this might not be the group for sport bikers unless you've "matured". Those who like to stop and take the occasional picture along the way, and who like to visit hole-in-the-wall diners will get along just fine!  Female riders are encouraged to join!

Want to get out and about in Annapolis and Anne Arundel county (and sometimes venturing a little beyond)? Are you over 40? Then this group is for you! Have fun in and around the Greater Annapolis area with people your own age. The group isn't designed specifically for singles or couples. We have a mix of all sorts of people!! Everyone is welcome.  This group will be focused on interacting with the community, cultural events, and finding fun things to do in and around town while meeting new people and hopefully learning about new things to do in town. We have happy hours and social events but we also volunteer with non-partisan groups to give back. If you are already involved in an organization and want to organize an Active Annapolitan group to join you, we'd love to hear from you, as well! We will host events such as trivia nights, hiking, volunteering, wine festivals, boat trips, happy hours, sporting events, whatever you want to do. This group encourages members to bring ideas and help create events. Let's get out, have some fun, make new friends, and enjoy where we are in our lives and what this town has to offer!  \*\* Please make sure you have a picture of yourself AND your name attached to your account so we can approve your membership.

**WHO WE ARE** The District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) Rollers is a group of recreational road cyclists who appreciate and enjoy the fellowship and health benefits associated with our sport -- and we love riding our bikes! All skill levels of cyclists are welcome to join us, however most of our members do have at least a few years of road riding experience and are "B+/B" riders (16 -18 mph group pace on flat roads). Therefore, we strongly encourage riders of lesser experience and/or ability to join our rides early in the season as each week the rides will increase in length and intensity. Although our rides are "no drop", meaning we will never leave a cyclist alone on the road, if a rider is deemed unable to maintain the group pace and/or complete the ride, we will ensure only that the rider is appropriately safeguarded (friend/SAG pick-up, rest stop drop-off, etc.).    Additionally, the DMV Rollers take pride in giving back to the community via participation in numerous charity rides throughout the cycling season. For example, at the national level in June 2024 members participated in **"Bike MS: Chesapeake Challenge 2024"**, raising over $3,300 in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society. And local causes supported recently included the April 2024 **"Ride to End Hunger in Calvert County"** (Food Pantry's in Calvert County, MD), the June 2023 **"Tour de Talbot"** (Talbot Thrive, a non-profit in Talbot County, MD which promotes healthy and safe outdoor mobility), the June 2023 DIVA Cycling **"Colors of Cancers Awareness Ride"** (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital), and the October 2022 Artemis Racing **"From the 'Wood to the Beach"** (event in support of A Wider Circle, whose mission is to end poverty). **HOW WE ROLL** ***Safety First:*** Please keep in mind that in order to accomplish a successful day of group road cycling, rider safety must be first and foremost. The DMV Rollers encourage and welcome fellow cycling enthusiasts to ride with us. However, the DMV Rollers assume no liability for any of our posted rides: ***each participant rides at their own risk, bears personal responsibility for their own safety and is respectful of the safety of others***. In order to participate in the DMV Rollers' rides, cyclists must familiarize themselves with and adhere to the following: * COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES: in good health, no recent contact with someone who tested Covid-19 positive, frequent handwashing, etc. * Always wear a helmet (proper fitting/adjusted) * Keep your ears clear (no ear buds playing loud music) * Pay Attention: keep your eyes and mind on the road and maintain awareness of your surroundings. It only takes a few seconds for something very bad to happen. * Obey all traffic signs and signals (act like a car) * Ride no more than two abreast (when safe to do so) * Call out car "back”, "up”, "right", "left" etc. to alert fellow riders to vehicular traffic * When a motor vehicle is behind you and/or trying to pass, ride single file * Call out your intentions to riders immediately behind you: “slowing” “stopping” “turning” * Call out to riders/pedestrians ahead of your intentions to pass: “on your left” * Use traffic hand signals when appropriate to alert riders/motor vehicles/pedestrians * Point to road hazards and/or call out to riders behind you: “gravel”, “hole”, "roadkill" etc. * Ride defensively and use common sense and courtesy toward motorists, pedestrians, and others * Stay Visible: use lights when biking at night or in low-light conditions. **PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST** * Properly fitting and adjusted helmet * Cycling gloves * Protective cycling eyeglasses * Spare tubes * CO2 cartridges and/or bicycle pump, tire levers, patch kit * Operational safety lights * Water bottle(s) * Food: bars, gels, fruit, etc. * Identification (such as Road ID) * Emergency money * Do a quick test of your bike to ensure that it’s in proper working order
