ParticipantAlert: Four Mile Run Trail Closure: Monday, August 27 from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm.
From my inbox:
“We have a scheduled closure of the South Four Mile Trail on Monday, August 27 from 9:30am to 3:00pm as part of the South Four Mile Run Sanitary Sewer Relining project. The trail and sidewalk will be closed on S Glebe Rd between W Glebe Rd and S Meade St. A detour will be in place (see attached map). Unfortunately, the detour is extensive but we have scheduled the work during off peak times to minimize any inconveniences to users.”[ATTACH=CONFIG]18244[/ATTACH]
Trail users will be detoured to the sidewalk on the north side of Glebe Road.

Perhaps someone with inside knowledge might still reply, but until then, I saw this morning that they had paved the west side of the project, and on the east side, crews were getting paving equipment together when I went through about 6:30.
I have received no update, but emailed this AM. This is solid intel from the field though that gives me hope!

Yeah, I think that request has been heard, but I suspect there’s no just no technical folks to implement it (?) But, I wholeheartedly agree. Heck, we use https for the freezing saddles scoreboard.
It’s definitely on our radar and wish list of requests.

Not to nitpick, but the uniforms they wore in the movie were desert tan flight suits [emoji6]

I’m afraid you are going to be sorely disappointed in my “made from recycling and an old colander” proton pack…
Also, which movie? There are two sets of GB to choose from here.

Oh boo! The ones from my link are $29.90 with free shipping. Maybe just pasting the link will work: http://www.bargainchildrensclothing.com/38102.html
And they are for adults, despite the parent website name of “Bargain Children’s Clothing”…
ParticipantHi y’all, Dasgeh received that link for me, and I 100% linked to last years on accident. Steve O has the correct link!

Usually for new comers the first thing I look at is “Location” before I respond. But there is one that says “Arlington”, but I think is a spammer. Here is post 1 with a link to a generic site. Another post promoting a company in China.
We’ve seen that one. Seems mostly harmless? If the user is SPAM, they’re getting points for being on topic and over the top friendly. “GREETINGS, DEAR READERS,” makes me feel like someone is reading me a letter from another century.

I was most fascinated by the Bboying … until I looked it up and found it’s not what I thought it was.
I thought the combination of “dog sport” and “Bboying” made that spammer very well-rounded for being an early 90s sitcom antihero.
But really, what is “element collecting”? A fancy name for rock collecting? Something Captain Planet might indulge in during his free time?

I got a a note back. They’re leaving the pipe, but putting up warning signs.
Welp, shoot. That seems less than ideal, but they did get back to you more quickly than me!

Happy to send a report, but not sure the point of it? I assume this was the plan so it’s just how it’s going be until construction is over.
Hmm. You may be correct, but the impression I was given was that the trail would be open, with occasional disruptions, like those that Judd mentioned, but not a pipe laying on the trail for the duration. Erring on the side of worth asking.
ParticipantAdditional Custis Trail Detour, this time near N Scott Street/Lee Highway.
From my inbox:
“Construction continues on the Custis Trail improvements.Weather permitting in the week of August 13, the contractor will begin work on the northwest corner of N. Scott Street/Lee Hwy intersection that will require the temporary closure of the trail. Therefore, trail users will follow a short detour around the work area.
Signage in the field will direct users on the route. The attached graphic indicates the planned detour area in the context of DPR’s trail work that is underway about ½ mile west of the N. Scott Street/Custis Trail work.
The detour is expected to last no more than one week.As always, the construction schedule is subject to the weather.
Please proceed with caution near the construction areas.”[ATTACH=CONFIG]18214[/ATTACH]

They’ve installed the large sewage pipe most of the way between Mt. Vernon Ave and S. Glebe. The pipe is placed directly on top of the trail. It results in a very narrow trail since it takes up about half of the southern-most lane, so ride carefully. There’s very little room for error when encountering cyclists or runners coming the opposite direction.
Thanks for the field reports. I’ll share them with the construction manager, but it might help to have folks who use the trail send messages, too: Hisham Wahdan at Hwahdan@arlingtonva.us
ParticipantI can teach everyone how to turn a pair of tan coveralls into a Ghostbusters costume and make proton packs out of trash.
And I promise, once you have a pair of tan coveralls with Ghostbusters details, you will want to wear them everywhere.
ParticipantSo for the past few months, Henry and I have been reviewing every new registrant to the forum before they are able to post. Most of the time, the spam bots are pretty boring and predictable– links to stream sports events, sell bootleg phones, and the like, with very little profile content filled out.
But, you guys, there is one spambot that I really do love. It seems to generate amazingly absurd “interests” to add to their profile of the dummy registrations.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]18212[/ATTACH]Just wanted to share the joy, and give you a heads up that “Chainmail making” seems to be on the rise as a forum interest.

Yupppp. Sending an email to the project manager this AM. The same was true for the Key Blvd detour, which is more confusing if you’re not familiar with the area.
At the time Sunyata and I rode by this morning, the signs should have been covered, since the detour was not completely marked. I just got word that the detour signs are now complete sets, with all turns marked. If you take one this evening or tomorrow, please let me know your thoughts. The actual trail demo is scheduled to begin tomorrow. And be nice to any lost trail users you may encounter.
