From another site: http://wandodtrailreport.blogspot.com/2011/02/conditions-in-reston-area.html

Hopefully this weekend rain/thaw will guarantee some open pavement come Monday.

Got the car into the shop today. Estimate was $3770. I’d say you can see the cost savings of going car free was attractive, but the time I blew my shoulder hitting one on the bike the hospital and orthopedic surgeon and PT ran over $10k…

Ouch! Have had a few close calls on the bike myself with the local deer population. Still, the worst was the SUV who cut me off in Tysons. Crunch…snap.

I rode the other way from Vienna to Georgetown. The WOD was almost unrideable this morning between Vienna and I 495, and I have studded tires. Frozen ruts really bad. On way home I just rode side streets once I got to Gallows road.

Yep, studded tires as well and Tues it was a frozen brain shaker that made me turn around and Wed was a slushy on top and ice below. Not shocked it’s rutted cement now that it’s back to cold. Wish it would just be all snow or all rain. So much ice/mix around here.

Thanks for the update!

Any reports on Vienna to Reston? From passing the crossings on the street I see some clear pavement where the truck has driven through. Anyone ride it today (Thurs Feb 3rd) with any success?

Sooooooooo yeah, the trail is still a mess. Clark’s Crossing to Hunter Mill was mostly ridable, Buckthorne involved a LOT of walking. Sunrise Valley to Sunset Hills was hit or miss, mostly crawling. I tried to ride into Reston, but a jogger passed me… that’s when I detoured onto Sunset Hills instead. Eventually arrived home despite the brutal, brutal, brutal headwinds…

Studded tires would have better luck than my road tires, but I won’t declare it “rideable” yet.

It’s beer time. Ride #472 just whupped my tail.

Tried it same day as you and previous day. I’m coming from Cedar into Reston. Bad news. Said screw it and rode motorcycle instead.
