I love all the little red dots chasing each other around Haines Point!

This is awesome!

At 1:53 you can see me stopped at Gravelly point trying to help a couple of guys who had a flat tire. Then when I got rolling again I forgot to resume my GPS until I got to the Crystal City turnoff, so I’m the dot that seems to cut across part of National Airport as the GPS just connected the two dots.

I noticed that there are a couple of dots that race across the map like meteors shooting across the sky. 1:31 and 1:34. Is someone recording Strava segments on a passenger jet or something?

Sweet! My Sunday ride was pretty easy to spot, since I’m the lone dot circling Lake Barcroft around 1:40…kinda funny, since I went nowhere near the Cherry Blossoms this weekend.

That’s just Tim.

Probably someone who paused their Garmin and then went somewhere (either by bike or by car) and then unpaused it.

Mesmerizing! I can definitely see my picnic stop at the basin…

A bunch of folks in cars on 66 and at least one taking off at DCA
