I Like it Lefty! Got a catchy name for it?
Ride on!

Hmmm, OK, I’ll call this the South Arlington Segregation Wormhole.
It connects 16th St. South to 17th St. South. So named, because a current resident told me that the two neighborhood it joins were segregated at one time. The 16th St. S. side Columbia Heights neighborhood (predominately white at one time), and the 17th St. St. Green Valley (Nauck) neighborhood (predominately African American). So named, because there is actually a North Arlington segregation wall in the Halls Hill neighborhood. However, I can’t verify the story about the south segregation wall (needs further research), but it makes a good tale. This wormhole allows one to meander through the neighborhood streets of the area and avoid the dreaded ‘Deadman’s Hill’ of South Walter Reed Drive.

From Chain Bridge Road (near the McLean Metro station) to Magarity Road (at Westgate Elementary School).
This path has opened recently. It surprised me where it went.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22091[/ATTACH]There is a very serpentine section.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22092[/ATTACH]Ooooo look at those twists and turns. Strong worming force on this one. I wonder who will get the KOM there.
Well played, and welcome back to the game Last Year’s CoWinner. We need to meet up some point in time in order for you to collect you prize.
ride on.

Sorry – I’m new at this! I have updated my original post, and added this name: “The CC Dank and Drizzly Graffitti Wormhole”
That is some DANK Style! Nice name!

Here’s my wormhole. It’s fun because there’s climbing, it’s paved the whole way, and it gets you not only off the busy W&OD but away from the cars on 2 lane Hunter Mill. I made a cut out from my today’s ride map. Do I need to also hashtag it on my Strava ride for the day?

Yes, #FSWormhole (And give it a name so that other’s can remember)
Sharky Alley is a great one!
Right on with the WH!f.
ParticipantWormholes corrections could be a bit pedantic when the whole goal of the game is to explore pathways that will create a more vibrant/fun/dangerous/safe/faster/slower cycling experience (one might not know what is on the other side of said hole and so we ride depending on the danger level of the spatial anomaly or basicness)
I am not going to restrict the bending of light through wormhole explorations, but I can judge such Wormholes.
There are basic wormholes your level one types (pedestrian at best) and there are FIVE STAR Wormholes that once explored they will leave a smile on your face, such as the Great Clearmont Stair Way to Heaven (My favorite WH in these parts of the galaxy)
The Great Clearmont Stair Way to heaven is an official bike infrastructure, but the design, the remote location to DC based folks and how it takes you from industrial wasteland to scenic country like homes, IT BENDS MY MIND to the point where I think I CLEARED all of the Scientology Levels.
Go Ride Your Bike and Explore.

A Wormhole onto it self, that once entered you may never leave? Right on!
Let’s bend those laws of bike riding

What is the difference between a wormhole and a great shortcut?
And here’s a great resource for finding “otherwise undefined” connections in Fx County. If you turn on the “trail buddy” layer, it tells almost all.
As the Great OG of Wormholing once said: “wormhole is an alternate route that is out of the ordinary, everyday routes everyone already takes. The best ones are ones that provide people with an alternative they otherwise would have never known about.”
If its a great shortcut, that hardly anyone knows, it saves time, it actually longer but more interesting, its safe, it’s dangerous because it puts you on 395 but hey it did save you .2miles. It’s a wormhole.
Go on an explore.

You got a name for that fancy hole ?!?
One my most used ones when I want to get out of CCT and head into GeorgeTown without having to carry my bike up stairs.
I believe Boomer claimed it last year, but I can’t remember the name he gave. It has some cool graffiti and could be kinda dodgy to go up/down when it rains.
Also this year you get points for claiming your spatial anomaly, but you can also ride through one that has been claimed and get a point for it.
Ride on.

ParticipantHoly holes Robin!
If you look at it, it’s an actual hole of wormholes.
You get a point for it, a point for the kickass name and a point for your fancy dioramesq/description3Points
ParticipantMacMew Joker Stairs BlackCoffee WormHole
Have you been on the CCT for too long? Or you just started and need to get off it? What, you need a fancy coffee in order to not get berated by Chuck? And get on MarArthur?
Just take the MacMew Joker Stairs BlackCoffee WormHole. You might also work on your CycloCross skills while you are at it.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]22003[/ATTACH]Participant******* EDIT *******
I am going to edit this rule from last year: Once a wormhole has been identified, that is it others can go interstellar on it but they won’t get a further point.
CHANGE: Even if it’s identified/claimed by someone else and you ride through it, you can still ### it and gather a point.
The whole point of this side quest is make our connections between places easier, so go on and hypercyclespace your away around.
ParticipantRight on! Sounds like a great WormHole. Right of the trail.
