Queston to the #wormhole world. I don’t usually use Strava so this is all new to me. When I use a # for a wormhole, should the hashtag be only #FSWORMHOLE ? Or should we attach the name we’ve given it to that hashtag (example: #FSWORMHOLEBACK9)? In other words, how is it easiest for you, LuisFilipe, to find them? I am (sort of) playing several of the pointless prize games (really what occurs to me each day to do), so do I hashtag all of them in my Strava ride name? If I put all of that in the Strava ride name, do I also need to put something in the description? And if I take my photos while on my ride and include them in the Strava upload, does that give the host the info he/she needs (in addition to the hashtag)?

I’m under no illusion I’ll amass the most points and I’m not playing for that. At the same time, I’m grateful that you and others are offering up these games as it keeps things interesting and motivating, so I want to make sure I’m not making it more difficult for the people who are kind enough to host a pprize!

#FSWormhole

Its the hashtag to use on strava, hopefully it will be added to the leaderboard, and it would be easier to follow each other’s explorations.

So for you example your would write: #FSWormhole Back9

The Hashtag is for the back end the name is for all of us to learn a bit more about your discovery, hence the ones that are well explained here, look cool, or are ones that I would like to explore, sometimes gather extra points.

Sometimes a really good WormHole name will gather you extra points, which I will have to add at the end of the game, but the #FSWormhole will help with accounting. Either way, go ride, explore, have fun.

Ride on.

Statecrest Anti-Graviton Anomaly

Connecting 2 streets named “Statecrest” in the Broyhill Crest neighborhood of North Annandale, this wormhole is associated with an anti-graviton field pushing you back as you approach, and pushing you away as you leave (unlike the much more common graviton-emitting wormholes that pull you in). Quantum Astrophysicists are puzzled by this anomaly and are uncertain whether the anti-graviton emissions arise from the wormhole itself of are an entirely independent phenomenon, especially since the strength of the field differs between the north and south event horizons. Use this wormhole while transiting to and from the Annandale Rd. bike lanes to avoid the rough pavement on Masonville Dr.

A wormhole that many pass, but few pass through. This wormhole connects Mill Road (near the Carlyle area in Alexandria to Duke Street. This wormhole has steps on both ends and a water feature in the middle of the tunnel. There is hope that someday this tunnel will be improved and likely lose its status of a a wormhole. Here is a study from 2016 https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/localmotion/info/Alexandria%20Tunnels_Final%20Report_2016_030916.pdf

Ohh my, are you reading my mind? That was going to be one of my extravaganza hunt for Wormholes side game.

I biked through it with some wormy water…. huck, but it did get me across!

Well Played! 5 POINTS! -1Point for not giving it a kick ass name….
Anyone else that rides through it can also get extra points with a description and WH name.

Ride on.!

I hereby claim the #FHBNA multidimensional wormhole, or literally, the “Fire Hydrant but Not Arms” wormhole (zoom in on the trash can [emoji1005] sign for my inspiration).

The non-descript entry off of South Oak Street in Falls Church VA is identifiable by the fire hydrant, the trash can with the “no fire arms” symbol, and the “long fence” sign on the chain link fence around TJ Elementary School.

The East exit through Cavalier Trail Park comes out on S Maple Ave and leads me to 2 local bike shops, FC Distillery, Audacious Aleworks, Target, 2 coffee ☕️ shops or the only bowling alley around town!

The North exit is through Howard E Herman Park and used to lead me to the only brewery in town, Mad Fox (R.I.P.) on Leesburg Pike (Rt 7) or the old Post Office (now a Harris Teeters).

All entrances/exits can reversed to go E, W, N or S (but the later T-bones at the Elementary School, forcing an E or W decision)

I like this wormhole as it allows me to cris-cross Falls Church (west to east or vice versa) w/out having to deal with the hazards of Leesburg Pike, especially if you wan to stay south of that congested artery, and the 3 footbridges that cross over Tripps Run, which bisects the little City of Falls Church.

Wormhole #1 – How did the chicken cross Muddy Branch

Not sure if this counts as a wormhole but there is an underpass on Muddy Branch road. It’s part of the Muddy Branch trail but if you aren’t familiar with it isn’t easily visible from the road. It’s a nice way to cross Muddy Branch and it also leads to a shortcut to cut across to Great Seneca either with the trail or on the parallel road.

It looks like an actual worm wormed the hole. I like it. Where exactly is that? Can you give us Google/Strava map pic?

Unfortunately this wormhole isn’t applicable to most of you (it’s in Philadelphia), but I thought it was pretty cool. I also didn’t document it photographically, so I’ve done my best with Google Streetview.

Looking at the path from the sidewalk on Ridge Ave

Context: you’re heading south on Ridge Ave, which is convenient but you’re getting buzzed by a lot of cars and you want to get down to the Schuylkill River Trail (MUP alongside the river). You hop up on the curb, then notice a narrow path between a cemetery and a wall. Take it until ends, climb down a ~2 foot drop, then hug the narrow strip of grass alongside West Hunting Park Ave until it gets too narrow as it goes under a cemetery road bridge. Hop into the road, take the lane and then cross Kelly Drive at the light to access the SRT.

JA, in the house! We have just love for the Philly Wholes. Keep exploring!

Ride on.

On my way to retrieve the Calvinball, I opted to take a visit to the original wormhole that inspired Beach Filipe to institute this game.

It’s the portage connection between Chain Bridge and the CCT. Since it was night, these photos are not so good.

The top of the wormhole is at the second wooden fence after you pass mile post 7 on the CCT (heading towards Georgetown)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]22201[/ATTACH]

There’s a single-track pathway down the side of the hill through the woods. Unless you are Ricky D, you will need to either roll or carry your bike:

Not that one needs to praise SteveO due to his lack of Ego juice. BUT that is the Original WormHole from the OG of WormHoles. WELL PLAYED. 3Points

That is a Level 4 WormHole: Saves time (or adds time due to your lack of upperbody strength), can be dangerous but for sure it is fun to explore, connects communities in a different way. It adds variety to your CCT travel experience.

Ride on.

I do that once in a while – pretty crappy sidewalk (there was I think a project proposed to rebuild with a decent shared use path, but I don’t know the status.) I really want to explore that little connection from Gordon to Raleigh that bypasses Taney Avenue Park

Looks like you would have to do a bit dirt/mud explorations if the conditions are right.

The guy who is no 1 right now lives and bikes in Belgium…

The game is for DC based folks, that live here or lived here and want to keep in touch with our community.

Belgium is good place to be.
Or if you are like me I ride in Sunny Side Portugal usually in January. (50f is cold in Portugal).

I was really riding to get a picture for drevil’s photo scavenger hunt, and without thinking I took my usual wormhole that allows me to minimize my riding on Rt. 29 to get into downtown Falls Church. I ride on Lawton Street, which parallels Rt. 29 (Lee Hwy/Washington St.). At the back corner of Madison Park there’s a path that connects into the parking lot of a business on Rt. 29. Since one of my common uses of this wormhole is to get to the State Theatre, I named it “Altered State”.

On my ride tonight I used the wormhole on the way there, but took the street on the way back. See https://www.strava.com/activities/4568838130
