D.C. area groups
Hi all-
I'm new to bikeforums and Washington, D.C. I was wondering if there are any weekday groups and where they might congregate in the city (where I live and work.) I'm looking for cat 3/4 types who race.
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is a good place to start, and covers most of the local race-oriented rides...
https://www.gamjams.net/2007/03/the_great_group.html
IIRC there's usually a 6PM ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Hains Point.
Welcome to the area!

Potomac Pedalers (https://www.bikepptc.org/) has what I'm sure is a brisk Monday morning ride out of Glen Echo (DC/Bethesda MD border), and has wide range of rides generally listed on their website.
