Social Distance Sprouts Ride
ALL APRIL!
WABA Signature Event - WABA Signature Event

The Social Distance Sprouts Ride is an alternative to the 2020 Sprouts Ride, in keeping with CDC recommendations for how to exercise safely during this time of social distancing.
The Social Distance Sprouts Ride is a guide for you to take a solitary bike ride with no person-to-person contact, as allowed by Mayor Bowser’s Stay-At-Home Order on March 30, 2020. Please follow all guidelines and orders regarding COVID-19 as they develop.
If you go for a #SocialDistanceSprouts Ride, please be vigilant about observing social distancing guidelines: maintaining 6 feet from others, no person-to-person contact, and sanitizing your hands frequently—especially after being out in public— for your own and others’ health. Leave a lot of room for passing, stop 6 ft behind others at intersections, and plan to ride more slowly than you usually might. See our blog post about Biking during COVID-19 for more details.
It is free for all to participate in #SocialDistanceSprouts! Here’s how:

- Make sure you have what you need for a safe, fun ride! The Ride Guide has a complete list of what to bring with you on your ride, including the necessities: water, snacks, and hand sanitizer/disinfecting wipes.
