Temporary (for a long time) wormhole on Chain Bridge Rd near Tyson’s. I call it the Construction Wormhole.
On the map, it looks like a road, but it’s closed off by concrete barricades and typically a parking lot for construction workers.
A great way to enter/exit Tyson’s (and now ride to Wegman’s

And a photo from this morning. Always looks like a traffic jam there

[ATTACH=CONFIG]22259[/ATTACH]Love the connection. Don’t love that they’re parked in a bike lane. Don’t love that ever, even if the road doesn’t actually go through!
Introducing the “Holmes Run Headwaters Wormhole” which is adjacent to and located to the north of [mention]reji [/mention]’s “Holmes Run Hyperleap” wormhole (see entry #17 above on this thread).
This wormhole also has multiple entry/exit points, including a Stairway to Gallows (and the dreaded Gallows Road intersection w/ Rt 50, I-495 and certain death) which leads to another wormhole portal to the Accotink Stream Valley, home to the CCCT which Reji often seeks.
In the opposite direction (East), one can connect to Lake Barcroft via the Sleepy Hollow Swim Club portal.
Several hard pack gravel routes, stream crossings, foot bridges, #parkfinder targets and dog walkers abound within this complex of wormholes.
entry/exit at Fairview Park South near Rt 50/I495/Rt29 interchange
Upper Holmes Run near Providence ReCenter

This wormhole would be SO MUCH better with a curb cut onto Oak St.!! There are even 3 bucks who live in here. I haven’t taken the north-south path along the creek in awhile because it was getting so eroded around the concrete platforms. Bumpity bump bump. It’s probably been built back up by now.

I hereby claim the #FHBNA multidimensional wormhole, or literally, the “Fire Hydrant but Not Arms” wormhole (zoom in on the trash can [emoji1005] sign for my inspiration).
The non-descript entry off of South Oak Street in Falls Church VA is identifiable by the fire hydrant, the green R2D2 trash can with the “no fire arms” sign, and the “long fence” sign on the chain link fence around TJ Elementary School.
The East exit through Cavalier Trail Park comes out on S Maple Ave and leads me to 2 local bike shops, FC Distillery, Audacious Aleworks, Target, 2 coffee ☕️ shops or the only bowling alley around town!
The North exit is through Howard E Herman Park and used to lead me to the only brewery in town, Mad Fox (R.I.P.) on Leesburg Pike (Rt 7) or the old Post Office (now a Harris Teeters).
All entrances/exits can reversed to go E, W, N or S (but the later T-bones at the Elementary School, forcing an E or W decision)
I like this wormhole as it allows me to cris-cross Falls Church (west to east or vice versa) w/out having to deal with the hazards of Leesburg Pike, especially if you wan to stay south of that congested artery, and the 3 footbridges that cross over Tripps Run, which bisects the little City of Falls Church.
