I hope so, cuz that looks lovely!

That it is. We live pretty close to this on the Seminary Road side, so we’re really glad this finally happened, opening up the western side of Holmes Run Creek, and the trail to us. It also gives us a family-bikeable route to Columbia Pike within shooting distance to the Harris Teeter / Starbucks / Subway. However, last time I was down that way the Holmes Run Trail up toward Columbia Pike was under construction.

Never knew there were horses here.

New bike path on the south side of Arlington Blvd.

This one is probably easy for those who go this way, but it was the first time I’ve been by.

That’s the new trail at Meadowlark? It’s on my list to get over there.

Yep, the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens Connector Trail.

I have been wanting to ride to this spot. Today was the day.

I think this might be a little to far west / suburban / not bike friendly location for most of the forum. It is a cool statue though.

I’m trying to imagine why someone would actually want to ride there.

Corner of Monument Dr & Fair Lakes Parkway near Fair Oaks Mall – GB’s right, I only know this from driving there

One of my commute options runs past it. (Jermantown Road across 50, behind Burlington, past Wegmans & REI, wave to the incongruous horse on the way to Fairfax County Parkway or the rocky run trail.) It’s reasonably rideable, but utilitarian more than scenic.

Correct.

Yes, I agree, but that was part of the challenge.

Riding along on a gorgeous fall day (Saturday), we try a new-to-us trail, when we came across a fire hydrant. Huh?

(I promise the view facing the other direction is similar — no houses, buildings, structures, streets).
