Maybe you’re a sleep walker. I’m surprised by the amount of GPS wiggle.

What’s even more interesting – that little excursion over to Georgia and Otis gets AWFULLY close to the strip club next door to the charter school.

I’ve been wanting to do a video highlighting the East Coast Greenway in the DC area for months now, and I’m glad to say that I finally finished it!

I chose to use a 48 mile segment of the East Coast Greenway running from Greenbelt through DC and into Occoquan, and my goal was to fit it into a 12 minute video (aimed at 4 miles/minute) which I almost did, save for intro/outro. It took 2 days of filming to gather footage in the days before Independence Day (hence the security chain-link fencing along the Mall) with 49 separate videos and 90 separate overlays. I also made sure to have different music to separate the MD, DC, and VA portions (keeping in mind that Columbia Island is still technically DC).

There are 2 distinct detours in the video that I should point out. The first is that the ECG offers 2 options when reaching the intersection of the NE Branch, NW Branch, and Anacostia River Trails in Hyattsville (shown here: https://map.greenway.org/?loc=14,38.94496,-76.93953): the main route goes along NW Branch, into Brookland, along the MBT, and past Union Station to the National Mall, and the alternate route goes along Anacostia River Trail, Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, past Navy Yard, and through SW Waterfront to the National Mall. I labeled these the (main) Metropolitan route and the (alternate) River route. The other detour is near Fort Belvoir (shown here: https://map.greenway.org/?loc=14,38.71060,-77.17651) where US-1 has a new paved sidepath running from Mt Vernon Memorial Hwy/Jeff Todd Way all the way to Lorton Rd. The ECG route has riders detouring onto Backlick Rd, Ffx Co Pkwy Trail, and Telegraph Rd, so my video shows a more direct route.

You can take a look at the East Coast Greenway route map on their site here: https://map.greenway.org/

I put a lot of work into this one, and my change in style for my other videos including symbols, overlays, and animations was due to my initial work on making this video. It’s the last major bit of DC-area footage that I have (I might do one shorter video on a MD trail, but that’s it for footage), so it makes me a bit sad, but I am happy to have been able to contribute to biking videos in the DC area. Enjoy!

I’ve got a new video of a ride I did with the Cascade Bicycle Club a couple of weeks ago.

There was a thick fog in the air that morning, and on my way to the group ride start, it seemed like I was in another world. Once I met up with everyone, we headed through the town of Auburn before heading along the Green River. We saw many beautiful views of farms partly shrouded in fog and trees in autumnal splendor around us. When we got to Flaming Geyser State Park, I split off from the group so I could check out the park before riding off to Black Diamond on my way home.

Here’s the video. Enjoy!

Looks like a great group. I was watching and wondering which of them are counterparts of which of us. That is, who in that group is the Cascade version of Judd or Ricky or Komorebi or FFG or LSG, etc.
