Although I don’t personally understand it, I feel for those deprived of their Hains Point laps this week. So if you still feel the need to ride in a big circle, you can get a jump on this late entry to the Pointless Prize list (thanks to hozn for helping me work out the technical issues).
The Loopy for Arlington Pointless Prize is for completing the most Arlington Loops (for the uninitiated: W&OD Trail from the Custis intersection to its eastern terminus, 4-Mile Run Trail from Shirlington Rd. to its eastern terminus, the MVT from DCA to its northern terminus at Roosevelt Island, and the whole Custis trail). Actually there will be 3 prizes: Most Clockwise Loops, Most Counter-Clockwise Loops, and Most Total Loops.
How do you play?
Unlike Hains Point laps, the Arlington Loop can actually get you to useful places, so you don’t have to literally ride the entire trail route to count a completed loop, and you don’t have to do a complete loop in a single ride either (for example, you can do half the loop on your morning commute, and the other half on your evening commute). A loop is counted each time you collect all 8 short segments located near the trail intersection points.
For a clockwise loop, collect these Strava segments:
ArLoopCW1
ArLoopCW2
ArLoopCW3
ArLoopCW4
ArLoopCW5
ArLoopCW6
ArLoopCW7
ArLoopCW8
For a counterclockwise loop, collect these Strava segments:
ArLoopCCW1
ArLoopCCW2
ArLoopCCW3
ArLoopCCW4
ArLoopCCW5
ArLoopCCW6
ArLoopCCW7
ArLoopCCW8
The prizes will be, of course, specially inscribed commemorative boxes of Fruit Loops.
I’m still not seeing #6
