March 27 – April 11, 2010
By WashCycle
WABA will again have its bike valet, and Bike and Roll and NPS will again do tours of the blossoms, via the going out gurus.
And if you can’t wait to take out that fixed-gear you bought because it was cool, hit the free, three-hour ranger-led bike tours
of the cherry blossoms offered Saturdays and Sundays through the
festival. Tours begin March 27. Want to hop off and walk some of the
way? The Washington Area Bicyclist Association is bringing back its
cherry blossom bike valet: You can park your bike with them free on
Saturdays and Sundays for the length of the festival (March 27-April
11).Even if you don’t have your own bike, you can throw your name on the
list to rent a bike and take tours during the festival. Bike and Roll
offers rentals, as well as two-hour, six-mile Bike the Blossoms
tours that begin and end at the kiosk on Pennsylvania Avenue. New this
year — and ideal for locals and serious cyclists — is an
approximately 15-mile, Blossoms by Bike River Ride, which starts in Old
Town and runs along the Mount Vernon Trail into Washington.

I hope I’ll take part in it someday. I adore when apricots, cherries and apples are in blossom. This is my favourite span of time. I try to spend every free minute outdoors to enjoy it. Besides, I like riding the bicycle a lot. I ride it pretty often. But if to ride the bicycle and to see such a beauty it would be bring me double joy. By the way, have you seen this video: https://www.tubesfan.com/watch/national-cherry-blossom-festival-in-washington-dc about Cherry blossom festival in Washington. It is a fairy tale!
