D.C. United Players to ‘Spin for a Cause’ in Dupont Saturday

Locals will be able to cycle with their favorite D.C. United players this weekend as during a charity event.

D.C. United players and head coach Ben Olsen are slated to mount the bikes at Flywheel (1927 Florida Ave. NW) Saturday at 5 p.m. to cycle their hearts out and benefit nonprofit organization DC Scores.

People who want to attend the event can buy a ticket for $30-$50, depending on how close to the local soccer celebrities they want to sit. Attendees will also have the chance to “compete for tickets to an upcoming D.C. United home match along with signed memorabilia,” according to an event listing.

Flywheel describes its 45-minute cycling classes as “a state-of-the-art, indoor stadium cycling class that’s suitable for all fitness levels.” Whether us mortals can compete with the District’s soccer stars, however, is uncertain.
