I got this ALERT and another about wind, on my Garmin, twice on tonight’s ride. Once at the beginning and another about 4 miles from home, thus I chose to ride WITH the wind to BRANCH AVENUE and then home from FORT TOTTEN. When you’re very tired, a tailwind is nice!
I first saw this alert light up with a far more egregious mph but wasn’t alert enough to pull out the camera on time. Unfortunately for effectiveness, it stays dark until well after the speeders pass. So much for the alert.
3/6/25 ALERT: ALERT ALERT, you can see the cool new cycle/walking path bridge beyond the new purple line bridge over Rock Creek @ Jones Bridge Road. Maybe the Flagging team had been blown away – the ALERT sign was all that was left.
The Beatles played their first concert at this building, the Washington Colosseum. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were both scout troop members before forming their band. Also most weekends in February you can usually find a Girl Scouts troop in front of that very building selling cookies.
