I wonder if they'll remove the abandoned moped that's been there for months? And the downed tree.

This was one unnamed old man's nature break spot, but I will prefer the completed trail for sure.

It was closed for a bit yesterday afternoon while they were up doing something to the west underside of the bridge. Hopefully just a minor, temporary thing. It was open again approaching 7 p.m., but...

On the Custis dip along 66 approaching Roslyn, note that the soundwall that was dangling dangerously close to the trail after the tree crushed it has now fallen completely into the trail. It's at the...

"As huskerdont points out in his note..."

That won't me (although I do agree).

Some of this depends on the temperament of your doggo. Our beagle did not like it. As long as we were under 9 mph he'd tolerate it, but over that and he'd try to claw his way out. The first time,...

On February 11 I rode the portion from Nutley to just shy of Gallows (dodging glass, tree limbs, construction debris, gravel, perhaps the odd barricade). It was about like I thought it would be,...

Yes, the trail underpass is open, yet every day I see people still queued up at the light. It's like the cage door is open now and people don't notice it.

Excellent! Accotink running loops back in the mix for this summer, and MTB trail connection between the two parks without necessarily needing to hit Danbury Forest Drive.

The sign is a good joke....

Yes, I'm only 6 ft tall on a 58 cm frame, but it would scarily close if I were to ride upright down the center line where their center lumber piece sits pointing endwise. A taller person could easily...

At the new Glebe Road Bridge, note also that westbound they got the ADA ramp a bit wrong and you could easily flat if you weren't careful. It's not as bad as the East Basin Drive ramp in DC.

First ride through there last night. Amazing the difference, although strange to not have to pick a MTB line on skinny 25s. Thank you!

Great news. Let us use our new right responsibly.

I stopped to let a pedestrian proceed in a crosswalk on Virginia Avenue the other day, and he seemed flabbergasted, saying something about...

So, the gate at the 41st St S turn had been lumberjacked open on Sunday--thanks, I was prepared to do so myself. Coming back up, a guy in front of me tried the S turn anyway and fell over on the...

Someone had posted about the 41st St S-turn having water lines going over it--sorry, can't find it now. Before, the gate had been opened so you could just ride straight up the hill, but someone has...

Was caught by surprise with this while running on Sunday. Note that if you're the kind of person who does this kind of thing, it's easy enough to get around on foot. In fact, people were fishing from...

Riding back from my run Saturday, chatted briefly with a chap using this bench/wall. He wasn't resting though; he was waiting for his wife to pick him up after breaking his derailleur hanger. They...

Oh, that's the place with the beehives I believe. So cool.

I usually rest by doing the little half-mile loop (Randolph/Richmond) before going on to Glebe or Military, but that place is so cool,...

Welcome back (though we've never met, I remember your posts).

And someone please give this man a better title than "Very Senior Member." "Venerated Cast-Iron Stalwart Senior Member" at the least.

This is what annoys me. If we're not going to clear our walkways, fine (although if private citizens have to do it, why don't governments?), but it really is ridiculous to plow the snow onto the...

I use a Garmin Instinct Solar watch as backup to my phone and sync it to Strava when needed/wanted (deleting otherwise). It usually states more elevation than Strava on the phone. No idea which is...

This one kinda hits home a bit. I go through that intersection every now and then, but go right, turn right again on OD, and take the first right into the neighborhood. I don't proceed if there are...

"Eh, I've only hiked the PHT bits below Chain Bridge, how is it upstream of that? (Not sure I want those paved, either, they're fun in an urban scrambling way)."

The PHT above Chain Bridge goes...

It's the topography! No one can ride a bike where there be hills or bumps. /s

I bought panniers and was going to try them, but the rack is only on one bike, and I only use that bike when it snows. Can't (won't) put a rack and panniers on my road bike, which is what I normally...
