W&OD: Bluemont Underpass Was under water early this morning

[Dirt]

It was 18″ deep and rushing fairly fast. It was fun, but you must be careful. I rode through it three times. Going upstream was definitely more challenging.

You should have kept going and enjoyed the cross current on all the 4MRT ford crossings from Glencarly to Columbia Pike. I skipped that and stayed on the W&OD high road.

I’ll have to add a button to my control panel to deploy CO2 pontoons.

My friend Tuba found Holmes Run similarly entertaining: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tuba_transport/6472881303

I’m glad your friend decided trying to cross this was a bad idea. That will take your ass down.

He just posed the bike there for visual effect. He’s a smart cookie. Smarter than me much of the time.
