1/28/24 – EMBER

I heard rumors that this spot along the Anacostia River Trail is where a car was torched, singeing the path, and leaving embers.

Pics from today’s ride. Thanks to all that attended!

1. 3 x Team 14 – The Real Authentic Bollard Busters (Accept No Imitations)

Since there was 3 from T.R.A.B.B.A.N.I., they were the best Bollard team of the day 😉 😀

The garland snakes around this mini tree

Yay! FYI, I tweaked the route slightly. On miles 2.4-3.9, we are going up Newton St now. We originally were going to trace the East Coast Greenway route, but I don’t like how many turns there are.

 

Not sure how miserable this ride will be, but I guess we’ll find out tomorrow! 😀 Still trying to figure out what rain gear I’ll be wearing…

 

Cheers, and remember we are rolling out at 10am from Vigilante coffee in Hyattsville!

1/25/24 – BLOCK

 

The fog BLOCKed the view of Lake Artemesia on this afternoon’s ride.

Steve O, good question about our ETA to the Monument. It’s a little hard to guess since I don’t know who’s joining, but if I had to, I’d say no later than 11:30? We’ll play it by ear, and I’ll make sure we have each other’s contact info.

Judd, you’re right. That’s why I’m meeting at the Monument so that I can have a 360 degree view of anyone trying to sneak up behind me 😀

Interesting. I’ve ridden there semi-regularly, but always drove to the park. I’ve wondered about riding to there (starting from my home in College Park), but the roads leading up to it are downright scary to me. I’ve never known anyone that has ridden there, so was intimidated.

 

Thanks for setting this up, and I’ll keep it in mind!

 

If anyone’s interested, here are some pics I’ve taken over the years on my rides there. It’s great, and not too far away (for me at least 😉 )

Not judging, but it seems to me that this snowman has been eating a little too much CANDY 😉

As all sundials, the one at Univ of Maryland points to true North
