DC - EU Embassy Ride
Not an official ride of any kind, but it's a fun event.
All the embassies of the EU members are having an open house this weekend, Saturday the 8th.

Last year I started at the Swedish embassy and rode around and stopped at most of them. Figured out who puts on the best parties.
Music, art shows, etc. Some have free food and drinks (beer or wine).
Plan to ride it again this year, but going first to Mass Ave near the Irish embassy. Hope to avoid the longer lines at the popular ones.
I almost offered to do it as a PPTC ride, but I wanted more flexibility than I'd have as a ride leader.
