    Sunday, 02/18/2023 (9:30 AM) Arlandria Public Art Ride & Wormhole Fun Ride

    Explore public art in Alexandria and Arlington, as well as several very impressive wormholes, and a bonus stop at the Pentagon 911 Memorial. We’ll also enjoy a coffee stop (~10am) at St Elmo’s, and a lunch stop after the ride at Lost Dog Café, both in Del Ray. If you’re playing #publicartfinder this is a chance score some points, and perhaps even bonus points! This fun ride will be led by @boomer2u (originator and longtime sponsor of this game), lover of public art and wormholes, and this year’s #publicartfinder sponsor, @karenbikes2. The route is a mashup of public art rides by @Komorebi for ALX BPAC and @FastFriendlyGuy for Bike Arlington.

         

    Start/End Point: Frank Mann Field next to Cora Kelly School, 3700 Commonwealth Ave, Alexandria, VA 22305.

    Time: 9:30 AM – 1-ish PM

    RWGPS Route, which includes a detailed itinerary with rough following times, depending on the group’s party-no-drop pace: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45542960

    There will be numerous opportunities to bail if you only have time for part of the ride. We’lll pass 4 metro stations, and cross 4-Mole Run and Mt Vernon trails.

    Participation is open to all who can ride a bike and is at your own risk so please wear a helmet, use bike lights and obey all road rules/trail etiquette!

    2/14/2024 – Similar to what’s at Fort Totten, the Brookland Metro station bus area also includes artwork surrounding the bus shelters.  This one is different in that it shows a depiction of the current neighborhood (as shown in this zoomed out photo – artistic shelter on the left, and the real life building on the right)

    2/14 – A Subtle Trip (2023) by Rob Ley, Potomac Yard Metro South Pavillon in Alexandria VA.

    A major goal of this project was to integrate the artwork into the station architecture in a way that responds to the motion and movements of users. In this artwork, each individual artwork element is unique in size and bend angle, but together the pieces work in concert to form an aggregate composition. Rob Ley’s artwork is the first in a US Transit system to introduce biophilic elements and provide credit towards LEED Transit accreditation of a Metrorail station. A Subtle Trip

    The Wursthouse mural (below the C&O towpath & just before the CCT entrance) is a little cluttered – and look inside the windows! The building has been gutted!
