Please join us for an exploratory ride on Sligo Creek trail in Tacoma Park
We will be starting from this [Sligo Creek Parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/T5UfdAt1XWF7EDTw9) location. We will go South, to the end of the trail and then up North towards the other end and return back to the starting point, riding about 15 miles in total
After the ride we will head to [Seoul Food DC](https://www.seoulfooddc.com/) for dinner. Seoul Food DC is a mostly vegan ([menu](https://seoulfooddc.square.site/)) establishment, so we would request you to get a vegan item if you are sharing the table with us.
