#FSWormhole

I’m naming this the Holmes Run Hyperleap since it’s an easy way to get across the roaring run of Holmes. It’s also affords a direct route from Falls Church to the Fairfax County Cross County trail.

Holy holes Robin!

If you look at it, it’s an actual hole of wormholes.
You get a point for it, a point for the kickass name and a point for your fancy dioramesq/description

Strong entry BB, may you keep on bending light

You got a name for that fancy hole ?!?

One my most used ones when I want to get out of CCT and head into GeorgeTown without having to carry my bike up stairs.

I believe Boomer claimed it last year, but I can’t remember the name he gave. It has some cool graffiti and could be kinda dodgy to go up/down when it rains.

Also this year you get points for claiming your spatial anomaly, but you can also ride through one that has been claimed and get a point for it.

Ride on.

That is a GREAT wormhole through an otherwise impenetrable concrete jungle of high speed motorized traffic! It also has multiple entry/exit points. I usually enter from the north at Fairview Park, and exit on the South via Woodburn Ave when headed to Lake Accotink via the FXCCT. I also exit to the East via Holmes Run Trail when headed to Lake Barcroft.

What is the difference between a wormhole and a great shortcut?

And here’s a great resource for finding “otherwise undefined” connections in Fx County. If you turn on the “trail buddy” layer, it tells almost all.

An Alexandria wormhole between Jefferson & Lee Sts and Jones Point Park bike trail entrance heretofore known to all and asundry as the “J2J Wormhole” with a special bonus of a side entry wormhole to the wormhole.

As the Great OG of Wormholing once said: “wormhole is an alternate route that is out of the ordinary, everyday routes everyone already takes. The best ones are ones that provide people with an alternative they otherwise would have never known about.”

If its a great shortcut, that hardly anyone knows, it saves time, it actually longer but more interesting, its safe, it’s dangerous because it puts you on 395 but hey it did save you .2miles. It’s a wormhole.

Go on an explore.

A Wormhole onto it self, that once entered you may never leave? Right on!

Let’s bend those laws of bike riding

Tagging the bike-welcoming “VMW wormhole” in Alexandria VA, one of two such phenomena on Wilkes Street, which connects Alexandria National Cemetery and Windhill Mill Park on the Potomac River, and fortunately intersects with my newest favorite coffee ☕️ shop, Firehook Bakery on S Washington Street.

I don’t really think of this as a wormhole, since it’s actually an official bike route and highlighted on the Alexandria bike map. It’s just the usual bike path.

So to me wormholeness (wormholocity?) is not a binary. I mean a street open to cars, or a standard long trail, is clearly not a wormhole. A “social path” clear is. A cut through a parking lot would seem to be one. A short trail intended mostly for peds, but legally open to bike riders is one. One that is a designated bike route is still one, I think, if it resembles the above in appearance and function.

Stay in your lane, and rule your own games!

As the Great OG of Wormholing (GOG W?), I believe my definition has been incorporated, as per Filipe’s recent post:

That part of the Alexandria bike infrastructure is the “ordinary, everyday route everyone already takes.”
