Thursday Coffee Club

The coffee club once known as Whole Thursday Foods Coffee Club, which has been held at Westpost (formerly known as Pentagon Row) in good weather, will experimentally be held...

Thanks. Bottom line, I might as well do other "bucket list" rides, and wait for more progress before exploring this trail.

Tuesday on the way home from work, I went (westbound) to the light then realized what I was doing and doubled back to take the trail. Sometimes we get in our zone and ride by habit, doncha know....

To be fair the hierarchy of stops has been kind of unstable as we (emerge? kind of emerge? think we have emerged? I'm not touching that one) from he pandemic. Market Square was in the past the big...

The trail underpass is open!

This not the place for a discussion of single use plastics, is it ;)

Despite some trepidation, BTWD went well for me this year. I got to emcee at Market Square, the first time I have been an...

I noted them dismantling the temporary bridge. Rode over on the side path/bike lane on the west side (IE the side further from the Potomac River) did not notice anything that looked like it still...

I was fortunate to have done 2013 BTWD, so I had some idea what it was supposed to be like. In 2014 I was the only person to arrive at the Capital Riverfront Pitstop IIRC, and the folks handing out...

The first half (disconnected segments, not like the eastern or western half) of the trail opened today. Our own LeslieT attended the ribbon cutting.

Given the controversy, I am eager to see some...

Personally, I want to give the new trail a...

WashCycle has an active twitter account.

I am eager to ride it, given the controversy about it, and the belief by some fellow bike advocates that it will be a huge disappointment with few riders. My understanding from the old debate (not...

Laurie Ellis reports that Halima has been found and is in good health. That is all I know.

That's great. I didn't mean to kvetch - just waxing nostalgic for past happy hours.... ;)

Thanks to you and Rumi for tracking down the info and letting folks know. As I shared with Rumi, this was a question years ago back when final happy hour was at Bier Baron, and the Happy Hour...

Note, it appears that trail users will not get a white crossing signal unless they press the beg button. This is not, IMO, an appropriate signal treatment for a road crossing on such a heavily used...

I think I have only ridden it once since it officially opened - I have pretty much only riden into DC lately on coffee club days, when I take Eads, and in the evening in I usually avoid the MVT...

Do you think they would mind if I brought in a box of matzoh, maybe some other things? - it will still be Passover, and I don't know if there will be anything I can eat.

It appears I will not be...

I didn't manage to post it here on time, but those who follow me on Strava will note my picture of the HQ of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

My understanding (based on something a roommate...

Time it passes, it changes us, it comes back around.

Crystal City is named for Crystal House which was built in 1963. By Charles E Smith. The benefactor of Charles E Smith Jewish Day School, in...

A reminder: Be wary of wet wooden bridges. After a decade of no problems, LBJ grove bridge finally got me.

Bike is fine. Laptop is fine. I am okay, but my elbow has looked prettier.

Any word on what killed the fox? Are the remains still there? They were yesterday.
