2/15/2025 – Fort Chaplin

Finally got around to starting another round of test commutes before RTO (so I can more easily knock off these EOTR forts)

Question for the handful of people following this: any interest in a (probably small) group ride to hit all of the DC locations on the NPS map?  Based on my schedule, I’m thinking maybe Sunday, March 9 with a 10/11AM start in either Georgetown or Alexandria, depending on what seems a better direction to travel.  The ride would be ~30 miles from Fort Greble to Battery Kemble, with a complete loop coming in around ~50 miles for those who’d bike the entire way around.

Interested, but might be constrained on how far I can ride.

I’ve ridden to two forts this week, but have not shown up on the list. Wanted to make sure I am doing this correctly. In my Strava activity, I put #civilwarforts in the comment field and snap a pick or my bike at the location (?). Not sure if this is automated, or if the competition is tallied manually and perhaps just updated every so often instead of instantly. Thanks for the fun game BTW!

Its supposed to be automatic.

Im not tallying manually. At most I’ll do an “audit” before giving the prize (even if the winner is someone i trust completely)

I think the hashtag may need to be in the ride title rather than the comment field. Try that.

Thanks! Putting the hashtag in the Title field on Strava fixed the issue.
