Sorry for the late posting. We lost our internet for a couple of days and then work was busy.

On MLK Jr Day I joined the Proteus Velo Club (College Park, MD) in shoveling some of the local and not-as-local trails after that last storm. We started at Proteus. First we went south on the Trolley Trail, which is a backbone for bicycle commuters and users of all types in our community. We cleared the snow and slush that the plows had left in 7 intersections along this trail. Then we headed further south to Bladensburg and the ART. I personally cleared the straight wooden bridge that you see in the photos here, and the three of us then cleared the very long, twisting, wooden boardwalk so that there was at least one good-sized lane along the entire length.

Afterwards, I ate some dumplings and remembered the awesome Chinese New Year ride that Komorebi organized a couple of years ago.

Would a blood donation on 1/13 count? I rode my bike there but didn’t take a photo. But I did get this hat!

5 Points for volunteering for Arlingtonians Helping Afghans! 5 Bonus Points to encourage you to continue working on your selfie skills. Reminds me of LordoftheMark’s early selfie work.

Picked up a box springs and bed frame from a donor for Arlingtonians helping Afghans— an ad hoc group finding and furnishing apartments for recent refugees. No bike, because. . . A truck was needed. Stating the obvious, I’m not very good at selfie’s[emoji2957]

20 Mega Bonus Points have been awarded for snow clearing. Excellent job with pandering by clearing an access point to the Mount Vernon Trail.

Any Mega Volunteer points laying around between snow storms for good deeds that facilitate access to the next Mega Volunteer event?

Won’t get rid of the switchback this phase but it’s pretty easy to get from Route 1 to the Potomac Yard Trail on the sidewalk or the road access behind the apartment building.

I’m riding the long tail a lot these days and end up taking circuitous routes and crossing Route 1 to avoid the switchback.
