This thread takes me back to a campaign speech by Loudoun County Supervisor Sharon Volpe last summer, when she expressed skepticism that bicycle tourism helps businesses in the County.

What a dolt she is.

Oh, sorry, I haven’t washed my jersey in months.

I saw my house!

Interesting fact – a tour group offers bike rental/tours from National Harbor.

Today, while riding the Mt. Vernon, I called left while passing a pedestrian and they apparently were so startled (don’t people call to pass around here?) that they jumped to the left

LOL. I see that so many times.

The answer is that cyclists don’t call their passes half as often as they used to around here. This is what we get for that.

(Welcome btw).

Actually, It’s too late I saw it the second I hit the “post” button and noticed the irony at once. Therein lies the ugliness and beauty of electronic transmission.

Glad your sense of humor wasn’t damaged.

How’s it going now?

We don’t need to hear lewd details about your personal life, Pete.

I think the intersection in question is a block north of that google link. It’s at Lynn and westbound Lee Highway where the Custis crosses Lynn St. At least that’s where I see the most issues.

Yes:

BTW, turn left on Lee there and go about 20 yards and suddenly it’s winter.

Sorry to hear that, and I hope you feel better and get justice too.

Is it too early to note the irony of your misspelled thread headline?

[baiskeli]

The fact that he felt the need to comment on his dumbassity – especially by saying he was going to “try” to blow through – says alot.

Where can I get Spoke Lits locally instead of ordering them from the web?

Hi Jan. I’m the guy who came by Sunday and said you should come here and say hi. Glad you did.

Hey, the Skins won too!

Just turn your bike upside down.

For a commute, skip the convoluted path through Arlington and just take Stafford of Quincy across I-66 to the Custis Trail, stay on that (being very careful though the Ft Myer/Lynn/Lee intersections area), continue on the Mt Vernon Trail and the route in post #1.

You’re trying to avoid me, aren’t you? It’s okay, I’m used to it.

Welcome, Edward.

There are many routes to the Mt. V. My preferred route is below. I like to avoid traffic and hills and potholes.

Fairfax Drive to the end, stop for coffee at Northside Social if you have time, take sidewalk on the North side of Wilson one black to left on Hudson, right on 13th, left on Highland (you can just take Wilson or the sidewalk to Highland for simplicity), right on Key Blvd., left on Veitch, cross Lee Highway to take a right on the sidewalk, which connects to the Custis Trail, through the Crossing of Doom at Lynn St. (I only cross on the green walk signal for extra safety) to the Mt. V.

Fairfax to Wilson to a left on Veitch or Lynn works fine too. Or simply catch the Custis Trail from Ballston.
