    I checked the Suitland Bike Path out this morning, it is 100% clear. They even trucked out the big snow piles at each crossing. As a side benefit, the snow clearing removed a lot of the broken glass, used diapers, car parts and gravel piles.

    Or, they didn’t ride on the part of the trail that wasn’t clear. According to this thread, Arlington didn’t clear the Bikeometer’s block for a couple days.

    That’s can’t be it. Don’t be such a Debbie Dasgeh Downer, of course they’d be listening to everything we have to say!

    It could have been the Arlington Deer. Or the Arlington Fox.

    Perhaps I am completely misreading that post, but my understanding of its intent is to encourage fair weather cyclists to try biking in the winter when conditions are still not so bad. I did not read anything at all in that post to DIScourage cyclists who are willing or interested in riding when it’s cold and wet and snowy.
    Shoot, you even have a Riding in the Snow page on your web site.

    I am still wondering who that one person was, though. It’s gonna keep me up at night. ;)

    Confirmed with the NPS today that work will be starting up in April to complete the work on the trail, including the final paving

    This is the MVT at the southernmost National Airport overpass? I had noticed there hasn’t been much work going on there lately. Why is that?

    Yes, it is. I didn’ ask, but earlier this year they had said they stop work and resume in April. I suspect that some of the work needed warmer weather, especially the paving. They did put in a water fountain last week.
