Planning a trip to Sunset Hills Vineyard this weekend - what the best route from the W&OD?

I made the trip a few years ago and remember not liking Berlin Turnpike very much - 45 mph speed limit...

Correct, rail service should be reasonably good after Ballston and points east. Trains will run from Vienna and Wiehle only every 18 minutes, meaning that they may be too full to board after a few...

What if LEED gave points conditionally for bike racks, but only if the builder can show that after a year or something that they're actually being used? Then the advocacy and encouragement side...

Hi there, #BikeDC!

WAMU traffic reporter Jerry Edwards gives drivers a play-by-play every morning. But what about the bicyclists?

Let's show the bright side of a car-free...

One nice safety outcome of this retiming is the right-hook going west from the East Capitol Street bike lanes into the Capitol Grounds at 1st St. has been reduced dramatically, and replaced with a...

I'd recommend the Mt. Vernon Trail as well. Huntington isn't terribly pleasant at rush hour if you're not comfortable taking the lane, so to start I'd say just take sidewalks over to this spot where...

The plates and nametags awaiting their riders:...

Does anyone need prize material? I've got some bike schwag/gear/-related items that could stand in for a "prize" if need be.

Probably about 40+ riders and lots of snacks out there tonight at around 10pm. We're crazy, you know.

I love this Eddington number thing. How delightfully nerdy - arbitrary yet revealing at the same time. Hozn is it up on the website?
Also... could it be calc'ed at the team level? Just sum on the...

Yes - go after that jrenaut character! He needs more competition.

Most of the cycletracks and trails in DC, sun-exposed, are in pretty good shape.
Met Branch Trail:

Get it? Eh?? Rights? Enumerated? And that last one??? :) *slaps knee* Heeeeyyyyo!

(We had to brainstorm for a couple of laps around Hains Point before inspiration hit.)

What's the best way to THANK Arlington County for doing such a good job plowing the trails? This is great and we should make our support known. It helps provide cover for continuing funding this in...

Ah! I've been following your long ride titles on Strava, but never thought to put them together!

Sounds to me like other teams need to step up their FUN level and capture them back!

Argh! Well done, Team Snowballs. This action merits a response of some kind. (Boowaahahahah)

There are 2+ hours left.... never underestimate Freezing Saddles' power to incite lunacy!

Then I reread the rules and realized it had to include a bike and the flag AND me, which was a bit of a challenge with a smartphone:

Brazil! Team 1....

Team One - BRAZIL

I'm in too. Anyone up for a ride to an embassy tomorrow?

No ice is a good thing! I'm thinking I'll just try to ride with a convoy of folks more familiar with Arlington than I. This route looks good. Reports from my Strava feed this morning suggest...

Gibby sorry to hear this. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to report this to Metro Transit Police - 202-962-2121. It's a pain, but it's how Metro can track and hopefully take corrective...

Any rationale for riding across Memorial Bridge and up to Rosslyn, then down through Arlington streets, to avoid MVT?
