How safe is that neighborhood at night?

From Nationals Park to Arlington? After a game, if you stick to M Street SE/SW the neighborhoods are fine.

I guess M St. would be better. I tried the P St. and riverside path mentioned in the thread. Seems like that area wouldn’t be a great place to ride after a night game.

Anyone have a favorite route from the north (Greenbelt, or College Park-ish)?
MBT or WV Ave?

Don’t know about the last bits of getting to Nationals Park from the Capitol area, but we’re going to try this weekend I think. I think I’ve posted versions of it before, but here’s a scenic general route to Capitol Hill area from a commute helmet video a while back with most of the turns marked:

Well, from daily experience, M Street is fine at 3:00-3:30 a.m. Years ago, maybe five years before the staium was built, I encountered some kids throwing rocks, but they couldn’t throw them quite far enough to hit me.

On the other hand, it was on M Street SW that Catwoman stopped me for directions….
