Riders will tour ​the city’s famous sights on 20 miles of car-free roads for the 7th annual edition. Many of the time-honored favorites along the route return, including selfie stops, live music, and rest areas. And the action-packed Finish Festival, presented by Sibley Memorial Hospital, will culminate the event in front of the U.S. Capitol Building on Pennsylvania Avenue with food trucks, fitness classes from #FITDC and live entertainment.
