Pretty sure that won’t completely happen. As we’ve seen with the other sections, they seem to have a few different phases for this. Layer of asphalt, wait a few days, another layer of final asphalt, wait a few days, erosion control efforts on the trail sides, wait a few days, paint the lines. So, the first layer of asphalt, at least, will be down tomorrow. That will keep the mud pits from sucking us down to the depths of the Earth’s crust. He also said they’d be paving the south side of the river banks too, though he wasn’t sure where bikes would go since the “trail” will end abruptly on that side. I guess it will just dump on to the sidewalk? Or is there future expansion plans for that side?

I needed a fog horn on my bike this morning instead of a bell!

To he fair, BA seems to give quite a few of those out. It might not (hopefully) have been a forum user.

Spoke with the construction crew this morning, the section by the skate park is being paved tomorrow, yay! I also thanked them profusely, and let them know how great the trail looks. It’s a trail that doesn’t get a ton of commuter use, but hopefully people will see how great it is and start to use it more.

I figure I’ll sign up regardless. When I volunteered, it was SUPER hot (the weekend after the “derecho”) and a lot of the riders who had signed up for the 200M switched over to the 200K. The organizers didn’t seem to mind, as long as the riders notified the volunteers. They *really* did a great job, they had every single rider accounted for, even ones who lived near the route and had bailed out of the ride.

Dude on a mountain bike!

Cycling on the Outer loop of 495!

You were only about a mile from 295N!

I can’t believe you didn’t have a helmet on!

I’m already a member. What happens if I join again?

Judging by the sign on the wall, it doesn’t look like you’re going to win this one. They purposely combined motorcycle and bike parking?

The sign on the wall appears to be paper, likely printed at a motorcycle rider’s desk.

time to play “rock, paper, scissors”.

Megan (MegaBeth) is in for it next year too. You guys should train together. I bet Pete is going to do it on his fixie.

I’m trying to see who will join me for a Total300?

Megan would probably drop me

Tim, no one likes an over achiever. Well, except your mom maybe.

I wonder if it would last longer if you changed the data point frequency. I don’t recall how often it records, 1 second interval? Change it to two? Something like that, sounds like a memory problem. Changing to a less frequent recording will be a little less accurate but might get you more time

I don’t understand the big issue about the high fees in D.C. that’s been all over the news recently. Um, if you don’t like the high fee, don’t run a red light or speed!

Greatest thing about this forum (besides all the great people, that is) is the massive amount of information from people with tons of experience. (they’re all happy to share their opinions too )

All the stop and go traffic on the beltway makes me feel like I’m pedaling sometimes

I’m going to dig out the old Edge 705 and send my 800 back for a refurb.

What do you think was the primary cause for the failure? Lots of use, inclement weather, dropped it? I know you put a ton of miles on it, so maybe it’s just that. Hoping to keep mine running for a long time.
