I have been on this forum for a while now and have posted a few times but it seems I am becoming more and more involved in the DC cycling community. I figured an introduction is in order. I have lived in DC for 2.5 years now. I recently made the conversion from mountain bike to road/cross bikes. Already I am planning to ride two centuries (Civil War and Seagull) in the fall. At this point, I am still exploring new trails in the area. Today, I had the day off so I knocked out 40 miles after the rain stopped. This was a new ride for me and no, I didn’t cycle through the panda exhibit at the zoo. If you see me on the big Blue with my bright blue shoes please stop and say hello.

not much to go on–there are bamboo stands all over fairfax county at least. I have always wondered why.

Looks like the bamboo stand just off the south MVT near the stone bridge. but mstone is right….. they’re all over the place. My guess is that they were ornamental and went crazy.

Bamboo is a grass and it spreads like one. Almost impossible to contain. The US Botanical Garden has it planted in 1′ thick concrete bunkers.

We had a house with bamboo in the back yard. We finally decided the easiest way to contain it would be to get a pair of giant pandas to feed upon it. Needless to say that didn’t actually work out so well.

Thats true. I should have picked a more unique setting but I was afraid I would give it away to easily. I didn’t realized bamboo was so readily available in some areas. That was taken on the Bethesda Trolley Trail. I will try to do better next time.

This may be too easy given the subtle visual cue next to the bike….

Nope, those joints in the concrete don’t help at all…
