#goldenspike – 02/03/2024 – Unplanned Metro trip, Waterfront Station (Green Line) to East Falls Church (Silver Line), changed at L’Enfant Plaza.  I was riding on M St, SE when I felt an uneven ride on my rear tire.  Turned out there was a very bad wear spot, just hadn’t gone through the belt.

As we near the half-way point of FS (day 39 on Thursday) here are a few notes.

 

1. First of all, thanks to all the participants and posts–keep it up.
2. I hope to post another round of preliminary results over the weekend.
3. Reminder — only posts to the Forum (here) count towards the Pointless Prize. The leaderboard based on the Strava hashtag #goldenspike is unofficial.
4. Reminder — photos must include a bike. Handlebars, saddle, etc., are fine–as long as I can tell it’s a bike.
5. Reminder — to claim a 3-point “trip,” your posting must have start point photo (with station sign), end point photo (with station sign) and a photo on-board. With a bike, or some bike parts, as above.
6. There is a #goldenspike “rural” group ride from the Ashburn Silver Line station on Sunday, Feb. 11. Details here–https://www.bikearlingtonforum.com/forums/topic/goldenspike-ashburn-group-ride-feb-11-gravelish/
7. Have fun!
