Join the Washington Area Bicyclist Association and biking baseball fans from around the region for a pot luck bicycle tailgate party at RFK Stadium (click link for map and location) followed by a group ride down to Nationals Park to watch the home team take on the Chicago Cubs. The event celebrates the opening of a new section of the Anacostia Riverwalk and Trail near RFK Stadium, as well as the new bike valet at Nationals Park. WABA will provide the grills, and hotdogs, burgers and veggie options. Please bring drinks, chips/dips, and picnic-type sides to share with friends.This event will happen RAIN OR SHINE. In the event that it rains, we will relocate the tailgating party under the east capital street bridge.
