I meant the stone bridge south of Alexandria. That section of trail is less forgiving because it is narrow, often hemmed in by vegetation, and full of corners with limited sight lines. Even a little stupid goes a long way there!
Truth be told, I drove in, parked around the block, poured water on my head to make it look like I had worked up a sweat, and only really rode one block to the office.
A head-on almost happened right next to me on the blind corner leading up to where the Custis crosses the I66 off ramp to Glebe Road. Some idiot in a gray tee with a yellow backpack tried to pass me and the rider in front and almost hit a westbound rider. It was close. And pointless. Despite really being chill about when and where I passed slower riders and walkers, I still caught up with the idiot at the Intersection of Doom.
Three thoughts from this morning’s extra special commute:
1. We are clearly not Dutch. Not even close.
2. No point passing/shoaling/being an ass if you can’t keep it up. Just sayin’.
3. The roads might be a safer option for competent cyclists than the Custis right now.
