    Now for the last wormhole (3/3)

    Last, but also quite famous if you’ve ever been to Antwerp (and especially ridden a bicycle there) is the Sint Annatunnel. Opened in 1933, the escalators are original. 574m long, and 31.57m underground, it is a marvelous thing to behold. 3 photos: the western entrance building, a shot of the escalator, and the tunnel itself.

    A wormhole from Chain Bridge to the Capital Crescent Trail (CCT). Use this wormhole if you want to avoid riding on C&O Canal Trail. To do that you will have to cross Canal Road NW.

    A wormhole under Arlington Blvd between N Thomas and N Trenton streets
    I call it “FSI Wormhole” because it takes you from the north side of Arlington Blvd to south where State Department’s Foreign Service Institute is located

    Introducing the “wormhole of magic” located in the Little City of Falls Church
    2726cc67a55fb59bcf48876e0ffe6565.jpg

    This wormhole is of the trasversable variety, with two bi-directional portals.
    bf3b56edc8969e0e9b27abb8a44cc00b.jpg

    The western portal on N. Cherry Street is guarded by 2 Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Soldiers, who despite their best efforts, are hardly incognito in their seasonal outfits!

    But the eastern portal on Midvale St is guarded by a fryckin’ wizard [emoji3316], Lorenzo the Great, who merits his own landmark on Google Maps, and has his own website!! http://lorenzomagic.com/
    If that is not a portal to the 5th Dimension, then I don’t know what is [emoji15]!!

    #wormhole It’s more than a garage for motor vehicles

    Bike riders who want get up to North Kings Highway from Huntington Boulevard can ride through the Huntington Metro Station parking garage. You can also ride down to Huntington Avenue from North Kings Highway after stopping at Bob and Edith’s for a meal.

    This wormhole at the bottom of Haycock Road and Orland Street provides passage from Westmoreland Street to the Freedom Lane and Powhatan Street neighborhoods and beyond into Franklin Park.

    There are four entrances/exits so some might call it the Orland Street Complex (eh, Boomer?). Or because of its connection to Westmoreland Street and its fine bike lane: the (westm)Orland Street Complex

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]23121[/ATTACH]

    This passed by me at first glance, but it’s a great example of a simple wormhole portal connection that once passed will keep pulling you back towards it.

    I use it as part of larger WormHole variant that will take you off Williamsburg/Westmoreland and thus gives you a scenic/bucolic look as you ride the WormHole at different pace.

    the Bucolic Haycock has a good ring to it.

    I rode through this wormhole today, and as requested by the wormholemeister [mention]LuisFilipe [/mention] I hereby dub it :

    “C2P2 Wormhole”

    Well known by NOVA bike commuters and coffeeneurs but perhaps most beloved because it leads to “Friday at the Fountain” Happy Hours at Crystal City Water Park where there is live music and food kiosk specializing in Peruvian fare with a white llama out front, and a bike maintenance station out back. Hence, the name Crystal City Party [emoji322] Portal (C2P2). It is adjacent to the C2E2 wormhole described below in this thread

    Any chance that if we take this wormhole we can travel back in time to those photos? Please say yes.

    What water? Puddles, this ain’t no puddle.

    I been here in the Spring, Summer, Fall, and now Winter.

    LAKE NEEDLE now with added ice. Let’s just say that having a thing base lawyer and a jacket for a 38f predicted ride that ended up being in the 30 with a feel like 18f made it for a very winter chilly ride.

    But I need to start the game with a BOOOOM.

    Would have taken more photos but, again I was a popsicle at this point and plus Boomer knows that I don’t stop in my rides unless I am with him (which we will have to stop for all of the #s in the freezing saddles games, which makes a 2hour journey a 7 hour journey TRUE STORY).

    #FSwormhole – North meets South (or vice versa) @ Lake Barcroft

    7b21259250d381f2f9f6861729facb40.jpg

    Posting this wormhole quickly before Uber Wormhole Hunter [mention]huberww [/mention] beats me to it since he apparently lo-jacked my bike while I was distracted exploring another wormhole in the TyCo galaxy [emoji292]

    This is a well known wormhole for those who frequent Lake Barcroft, of the stable, 2-way, traversable and Inter-universal variety.
    The northern portal is gated and posted as “private property” but has a very weak force field.
    127601ad3580bcae1fe49f0a9582ac17.jpg

    The southern portal is unguarded, has a street sign 🪧 leading to nowhere, and a strong affinity for other #BAFS members as [mention]wheels&wings [/mention] popped out while I was measuring the portal’s fluctuations!:-0
    cfbb4a4089b3af13b27ead5ed76700dd.jpg

    The center of the wormhole has a strong gravitational pull, enticing one to sit at the picnic bench and take in the #lakefinder view … but beware of the floating piers on the black hole [emoji874] which might absorb your bike if you aren’t careful!

    This to me is probably the most ZEN of all WormHoles. It even has a lil bench so that you can sit and travel in your mind.

    +2Points not that Boomer needs it but, let’s change the name to ZEN LAKE WormHole ( Did I just bribe you or force you with an extra point? Let’s us all meditate on that)

    Getting between Columbia Pike and Crystal City is always a task, because I-395 has only limited places to cross. One of those is the east entrance to the Army-Navy Country Club. This wormhole can be intimidating, because one has to travel through the country club. Do not fear, though, I have traveled through in both directions on many occasions and only once have been stopped (jinxed by Josephine, who was leading a ride that day). Today, even, there were security guards at both gates, each of which gave me a greeting and a friendly wave.
    So don’t let the Dead End sign deter you; there is nothing to fear.

    Note the use of the South Arlington Segregation Wormhole, too, which was previously noted by Catedrew.
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]23196[/ATTACH]

    When traveling westbound, gravity in this wormhole is severe, requiring significant effort to overcome and get to the western gate. Going in the opposite direction, though, is like being pulled into a black hole, with continual acceleration up to a fraction of the speed of light.

    I’m going to name this AN ‘ormhole (AN = Army-Navy), pronounced “an ‘ormhole”
    “How are you going to get to Acme Pie Company, Steve O?”
    “I’m going to take AN ‘ormhole”

    This is a straight up quality, connecting WormHole. One that I have always wanted to explore but never have.

    WELL PLAYED OG> 3POINTS.

    5***** level WormHole

    I present you the GREAT GARRETT Worm Hole.

    I love this WH because of how sneaky it is to find it at first, how quickly the landscape changes, the number of Wormholes within it, how it connects two of my routes together that I would have never known, but MOST importantly it just leaves me with a flat out smile on my face.

    I prefer to transverse clockwise as its a bit more fun and speedy twisty experience.

    It’s along ass WormHole, that connects the Bethesda Trolley Traill to Beach Drive.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]23210[/ATTACH]

    At first you are in the middle of nowhere, concrete jungle but if you spot this entryway… you are in for the ride.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]23211[/ATTACH]

    There is Famers market Right at Garrett Park, and great spot for food/coffee @BlackMarket the sister restaurante along with Black Salt, Black Coffee and hear the wicked hard to find Black Black.

    At this spot, you might get trapped as other faster, noisier and way more heavier wormhole centric models of exploration passby, but no worries as they zoom by extremely fast.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]23205[/ATTACH]

    Obvious the Great Garrett would have to Connect to Garrett Park RD, where you can connect to the Wrongly Named Beach Drive (Nahh man I am not buying the lil river beach, I want a real beach)

    From here on there are few other WormHolyConnections to explore that I will reveal at a later future, past, present date. It all really depends on the SpaceTimeContinuum and AE’s TR.
    Ride on.
