WOW REPORT IS BACK
Week of 1.11-17

Well it’s been over a week and I have been WormHoling Wicked Hard. As Boomer pointed it out, he helped me with one of the Biggest Wormholes you can hyperspace yourself through and I gone and passed from the single life to the married life. Life vitals are great, ring finger vitals are still a bit off as its adjusting to the metal circumference that envelops it.

NOW BACK TO THE WOW

On the top list of quick ass features — WE GOT A MAP — Google Map (#Freezing Saddles WormHoles)

bigredboiler came through and created the feature for us. It’s up to all of us to use it for our WormHoling community (not required for WH points), a neat way to share the knowledge and helps us navigate the CycleHyperspace.

Kbikeva presented the “Guns & NoRoads” out of RT50 and Jermantown Rd to Waples Mill. Solid Sneaky WormHole. Solid name, description, path but the kickass name MOOREBETTER WH makes the list. Wait… you get to ride a pre-Colonial road! So you actually get to travel back in time? And its an unstable WormHole — Park View High School has a gate that’s sometimes closed and locked closing your path. I like to gamble with my WormHoles! Even our intrepid explored JoshA who’s legs are strong but his arms not to his name sake, shed some bled in this WH. (true story)

ALL HAIL THE UBER huberWW the Uber rookie of wormhole explorations. 9 WormHole discoveries in an urban Jugle….!!!!
WOW – just the whole combo might warrant the WOW report! You can live 1923213 lifetimes in these wormholes!

SteveOG comes through, after his 1st to video technology, for a reprieve of his 395 dash – Universe’s Most Inadvisable Wormhole – but this time without endangering any cars in the process. Well played. Added bonus – MUD. What’s a true WormHole without fear, blood or mud?

But perhaps the most useful of his WHs could be (He didn’t name it so I will) The VolleyExpress which takes you out of the MVT and right into Crystal City without having to ride much further ahead.

What can I say about Boomer? His whole WormHole strategy is akin to his strategy: sock&awe for another PP.

Plethora of possibilites of paths to be paved, passed and permanently engrained in your travel explorations.

I think he was trying to win me over with his TACO WormHole, (Even before you can say Taco, I am already there, Why do you think I married a Mexican?)
BUT his description of the #Quantum Drive Orbital Wormhole man… on point, and again the name it self makes me want to ride it, with the added benefit of reduction road kill probability and increasing art encounters. I am in.

******** WOW **********

It had to go to: bikesnick ‘s E/G/sCapitol parking lot SW (3-way wormhole under 695/395)

Indeed a reprieve from last year (but all WormHoles are Open for explorations).

Just a level 5***** WormHole, Indeed a +5 PointWormHole. I am not going to even say more about it. If you explore it and give us a description, you still get some extra points.

RIDE ON!

#FSwormhole – TyCo DefGrav03: Freddie Mac Complex

This is the last installment of atmospheric wormholes from the car-crazy sprawl gone mad in Tyson’s Corner VA.

I discovered this while on a #publicartfinder mission to find the rare and elusive “Sharing the News” sculpture by Seward Johnson at the Freddie Mac HQ on Jones Branch Drive, based upon recon provided by Uber Wormhole Pedalwan [mention]huberww [/mention]

Looking up from the news, I notice a massive suspension bridge over Jones Branch Drive with a strong gravitational pull that disappeared into the woods! I made a mental note to come back and explore while not leading a pack of #publicartfinders through high speed traffic around The Mall and over the I-495 Beltway .

Upon returning, I entered the gateway portal to the atmosphere simply noted as “HQ#” and no bicycles [emoji729] sign, but since no one was around…

This aerial wormhole is a series of bridges and an outdoor dining deck that connect 3 office buildings to a parking deck, from which one can exit the wormhole (I used the side door since the garage entry/exits had active force fields denying either exit or entry)

Upon exiting, one can rejoin Jones Branch Drive at Ken Lawrence Park, or enjoy the Park … or enter another wormhole in the Park which exits uphill on to Westpark Drive.

My GPS unit went wobbly while inside this wormhole, so I do not have an accurate recording of its coordinates nor navigational path. See map below for a depiction of my transformational experience.

The benefit of this wormhole, besides defying gravity, is that it removes you from having to tangle with TyCo motorized traffic (which can lead to certain death w/ crazed consumers galore), and leads to a #parkfinder and #publicartfinder opportunity. That said, it is probably illegal to ride on a bike through this pedestrian wormhole, which is unstable and might collapse inside the Freddie Mac parking garage of no return.

This wormhole at the bottom of Haycock Road and Orland Street provides passage from Westmoreland Street to the Freedom Lane and Powhatan Street neighborhoods and beyond into Franklin Park.

There are four entrances/exits so some might call it the Orland Street Complex (eh, Boomer?). Or because of its connection to Westmoreland Street and its fine bike lane: the (westm)Orland Street Complex

I rode through this wormhole the other day, and it’s definitely a “complex”!!

Old Tolson Mill Road – This one is my personal favorite discovery last year, though undoubtedly area bikers have been aware of this wormhole for years. This private drive is the key to access from Tysons to the northwest (on the north side of Route 7) including Great Falls and Reston without having to ride on the busiest roads such as Georgetown Pike, Old Dominion or Route 7. Using this cut through allows loops beyond Tysons and back via Wolf Trap, Reston or connecting to the CCT at Leigh Mill Road, for example.

Approaching from the south, Brook Road, to Daleview, quick left onto Windrock, left onto Chequers Lane, then up the single lane of Old Tolson Mill Road (signed by Private Drive). Outlets onto Belleview.

Check out the hockey rink at the manse mid-way through!

We are hot on the same wormhole hunt, but you post faster than I do … as I rode through that wormhole myself yesterday!!

Did you see the tire tube and Yahoo! bottles on the old White Oak Tree at the Belleview Dr portal??? I installed this visual marker last Spring so that I would not miss the turn off during the ProBike Falls Church Virtual Time Trial series that made this wormhole well known!

Also worth noting that cyclists can ignore the “private road” sign at the Chequers Way portal of this wormhole… that forcefield is weak!

#FSwormhole – TYCO Westpark Complex

This is an addition to my TYCO series of wormholes in the Uber bike-unfriendly sprawl of Tyson’s Corner VA.

This wormhole complex is 2-way trasversal, interuniversal — as you remain in the TyCo galaxy — and has various (and stable) portals. It is also adjacent to the Freddie Mac Complex wormhole previously described on this thread.

It allows you to avoid riding along multi-lanes of hi-speed motorized traffic, and transect some of the last remaining unpaved patches in TyCo.

I entered at the Ken Lawrence Park portal, which fortunately has very clean porta-potties!

The section between Westpark Dr and Tyson’s Blvd is a bit rough, but the nicest and most “wild” part of this wormhole

There is a wicked inclined switchback at the portal to Tyson’s Blvd that dumps you out ins the exit/entry to TyCo Galleria Mall, so beware!!

Ha! I also rode through there yesterday and thought about turning, but the “No bicycles” sign stopped me.

The “no bicycle” [emoji729] force field at that suspension bridge portal fluctuates depending upon the presence of pedestrians, so if you time it right, entry may be granted;-)

Überhuberww! Taking it to the champ in his own territory. Your previous explorations were worth a galaxy worth of wormhole points.

Granting you +2 on this one as a token of my gratitude.

#FSwormholefail – Safety Notice

Just a reminder that not all wormholes are stable. Please retreat if you sense fluctuations outside of normal variance, especially if there is a risk of collapse due to its own gravitational pull

#FSwormole – Cherry [emoji523] on Top Park

This wormhole seems to be both a temporal as well as spatial anomaly, associated with either the Falls Church Saturday morning Farmer’s Market, or my hangover from having attended the wormholemeister’s farewell party the night before… or perhaps both?

This wormhole allows one to circumvent the wild fluctuations of motorized and biped traffic associated with the Sat AM temporal anomaly known simply as “the farmers market,” especially the cluster f$@! at the intersection of Little Falls St and Park Ave.

There is a large mass in the middle of the wormhole (“the barn”) that creates a strong gravitational pull but leads to a playground full of screaming kids on a soft trail surface that will test even seasoned MTBers (trust me on this one). Following the brick laid pathway via the historic home to the Park Ave portal provides a much smoother exit/entry to this wormhole.
