What? I thought having operator's licenses and plate on the vehicles was supposed to prevent such occurrences. That's what the trolls tell us cyclists.

That it is a vehicle from Maryland is somewhat fitting.
Rode the MVT this afternoon. The areas between the Trollheim and the Memorial Bridge tunnel had some pretty thick ice at the normal water seepage locations. Lot of tracks in the grass alongside the...
All,
I just got a note from WABA that said they scored 93 donations today, totaling $13,642. That was matched ($10,000) by the WABA in the Wild alumni so it seems to have been a good day for...
But wait! There's more!
The project includes lighting as well. The plan is to install a bunch (five) of light poles in the immediate vicinity of the circle. I'd posit that the area is likely to...
Good morning,
A number of folks who have ridden WABA in the Wild from Cumberland, Maryland to Washington have teamed up to match your donations to WABA. This is an opportunity to double the...
Late afternoon on the Custis had some smooth ice areas. Tomorrow morning expect all wet areas to be ice
Trollheim was all crunchy ice, making steering a little challenging. Had to flintstone on...
Trollheim was crunchy ice for all but the parts that were sheltered by other bridges. I had to flintstone for part
Does the NPS have anything useful in their nursery?

Back before 2000 (before my time), there appeared to be a few more bushes between the MVT and GWMP along the fence. We may be forced to rely on Rootchopper's memory. See Google Earth...
Drop the speed limit on the Parkway to 25 and put speed cameras every 100 yards randomly in the traffic lanes. FIFY

The design appears to have been developed with no actual consideration of the likely traffic patterns (almost all under the interstate and almost none continuing up the trail). SteveO suggested a...
Would be nice if they had done something about the fire hydrant and sign posts just off the trail. Lurking there, waiting to strike.
I went up to the circle today and watched a cyclist just ride to the left of the circle and go under 66. I think that is likely to become the route for most cyclists that ride this often.
Observed along the bike lane on Potomac Ave this morning.
Don't see a cake along the trail often (ever?)

For those who haven't been out the W&OD, be advised that the bike/ped overpass is progressing nicely. VDOT says the bridge (less landscaping and improvements below the bridge) will be done in Fall...
