Perfect! Thank you very much!

Lubber Run Coomunity Center is likely where I will get a COVID shot. RackSpotter shows racks there, but that is dated well before they completely reconstructed the community center. Anyone know if...

Starting a new month....

The Rosslyn Monolith was counting today!

And a beaver paused and waited for me to pass on 4MRT before it crossed the trail (between 4MR and the pond (up on the other...

The Rosslyn Monolith appears to be off. I knw it was working on Sunday, but today was my first chance by there since then and it was all dark.

So, you are hoping your prize is a pie?

I can say that as of Tuesday morning, 3/2/21, it still wasn't open. However, it is close. They look to be finishing up the fencing on the rails to keep people from falling off the bridge. Not sure if...

[cross posting the main contents]
At 7:15 am today, there were two cars that had left the GW parkway between trollheim and boundary channel (it happened before then, but not likely too long before)....

At about 7am the trails could be treacherous. The rime wasn’t too bad in terms of being slippery, but all the re-frozen melt was bad. If we freeze again tonight, these areas might be a problem:
-...

Another 12 hours of above freezing may have helped since your ride.

Less snow and ice than yesterday, but not all gone.
Different route today: Custis – MVT – LBJ Grove – around S side of Pentagon...

Did an Arlington loop this morning starting pre-dawn, so still below freezing, with 4MRT instead of W&OD for most of the way where they "parallel" each other. As the temperatures increase today, many...

Since it looks like the snow may be finished for the time being, what are the trails like? (I see other asking similar questions)
Is MVT passable between Roosevelt Island and 4MRT?
Did they...

Apparently if you are persistent (days, hours on the phone, and multiple e-mails asking for escalation), someone there knows that it does not need to be a cell phone with texting capabilities. You...

When you say "Puncture strip" do you mean something like rhinodillo strips? If so, then that is likely the problem. I had three flats in 2 days due to that. The strip was cracking longitudinally and...

Thank you, Henry.
However, this all assumes that one has a smart phone or any cell phone with texting ability. I spent a lot of time on the phone (landline) with them today (partially because their...

So, after taking my bike in for a brake repair, I planned to take a CaBi home. As always, I stick my fob into the slot to get a bike, but then I get a red light. Huh. Maybe something is wrong with...

Well, this explains all the car debris on the MVT this morning.

Ice flows are coming!
Columbia Island is leaking like it was a couple of winters ago (south of Trollheim to a little south of Memorial Bridge). The past two mornings there was ice on the MVT where...

So this morning I went by this circle and there were plantings all around it. Looks really pretty now and those shrubs are tiny now, but they will soon block any views trail users might have. This...

It has been a while since I was sure I saw the remains of one of these (there have been several cases of muddy tracks this summer and last, but since the appeared when the grass was freshly mowed, I...

I agree that they are likely inadvertent. I have nearly had to do that every time I passed through so far. It is getting better and I start to brake earlier, but it is not at all a natural turn. They...

Well, there are now two signs on Lexington to help guide, if one is on the sidewalk, and the "walk bike" sign removed, so some progress. There is nothing at the split at the top of the hill (when...

The (relatively) new trail along Washington Blvd (from Towers Park to Lyon Park) now has a permanent Jersey wall between the trail and cars! It does feel safer now. (I wonder about potential puddles,...

New detour is poorly marked. Heading NW on W&OD there are no signs after one goes under Wilson Blvd to indicate that this would be a good place to turn if one wanted the Custis Trail. I knew I would...

Update from the past few mornings:
- They fixed the scattered porta-potties quickly (I am curious if they are anchored or weighted down better now. I wonder how much wind today's storms will...

Other people seem to have found out the time I ride that used to be empty :( (I just go out first thing like I were going to the office, but then continue and return home to ride my whole commute...
