Holmes Run is still bisected by a 30″ sewage line with virtually no warning. Luckily I’ve got good brakes.

Nasty. I was there the day the line exploded. Was um not nice.

In the past few weeks, all the signs informing trail-users to turn back have been taken down. I don’t think it was by the construction crew, but last time I tried to go through there I thought the absence of the signs meant it was fixed, so it was a bit of a shock for me, too! (and I’ve luckily got good brakes, too)

It really wasn’t that dramatic. I had 1/4 mile and one creek crossing between me and the actual sewage pipe…. plenty of room to slow down.

I pretty much figured that there were other signs. I actually was happy that I found this. It made me explore some cool alternatives.

Luckily you have those new brakes that actually stop without a written letter two weeks in advance.
P.s. I love that bike.

That’s in Alexandria, right? Would you mind creating a request via http://request.alexandriava.gov/CCC/?h=tab=Find&keyword=Park&service=RPCA_PRKMAIN with the location? I haven’t ridden HR enough to confidently report it for you.

That part of the stream is in Fairfax county, I think. It’s upstream of the new Chambliss street stream crossing, which is approximately where the City of Alexandria/County of Fairfax border is for Holmes Run.

Must be nice for him actually to be on snow for a change.

I saw him in vienna. On the W&OD there were only three tracks in the snow. Two were from his sled, and the other must have been yours! He was heading west when I passed him.
