The Washington Blvd trail was clear this morning. I’m thinking I’ll continue to skip the Trollheim for the rest of this week. It could get to 80°F during the day and that sucker would still be iced up. Any news to the contrary would be welcome.
Trollheim was surprisingly clear this afternoon (except for a small patch under the bridge). MVT from Georgetown to 4MR was clear.
ParticipantTried my best to avert the takeover of our first place standing, but guess they accomplished their goal

ParticipantAnd while you are discussing this, team 20 is growing in numbers ��
ParticipantNot sure if it is the same person, but I have seen a guy riding his gas powered MTB on the WOD approaching Columbia Pike. I believe it is white. You can easily reach 20mph during that section, and he has passed me way faster than that. The exhaust is strong and it makes me nauseous. I have not been able to report him because he immediately switches to the street after Columbia Pike.

Yep, you ran a red light from a full stop at 35th & M St, NW today. We are pleased no one was injured by your negligence.
I cross this intersection during rush hour every day. There is a reason why I go through the crosswalk on foot and not on my bike…

What’s going on with Army Navy Drive? The bike lanes (all except a small segment near the underpass to the country club) disappeared awhile ago when the stripes were ground away. Just this week the surface was chip-sealed.
Are the bike lanes coming back?
I noticed that too… About six months ago, they also decided to extend a bus stop right through the middle of the bike lane, just after the big hill, going southbound. Guess they don’t want bike lanes there.
ParticipantI used to get back pain all the time. Specially if my ride was hilly. I decided to start tweaking my saddle height and now the back pain is gone. Even a quarter of an inch can make a huge difference.
ParticipantI thought it was a moped at first, but when I a caught a glimpse when he was turning, I noticed that it was an actual bike. The frame was red, didn’t get a chance to notice the motor, but it was very loud. I hope I don’t see him again.

No helmet? I saw said douchebag on the MVT near Gravelly Point. Ebikes are one thing, but I draw the line at chainsaw power heads.
Yes. No helmet. Brown leatherish jacket. I didn’t know what to do, was not expecting something like that on a MUP. Specially during rush hour
ParticipantGuy on a modded bike with a motor decided to tail me eastbound on the W&OD just after Route 50 at around 6pm. I couldn’t discern quickly what was going on until he was right on my wheel and I was just about to pass a man with a child on his trailer and I realized the danger of it all. I let him pass and he then proceed going 25mph+ on a crowded trail leaving behind lots of exhaust. I reached him at Columbia Pike when he crossed to Four Mile Run without stopping and took the street instead.
ParticipantTiny/cheap spy cam to at least know what time they do it? Not sure if it is legal
ParticipantMaybe they want to make bunny hopping a required skill. Babies on strollers can get a first hand experience.
ParticipantThat one time I was struggling at the W&OD going uphill just after George Mason Dr cursing the headwind, cursing my tired legs, barely making it to 15-16mph, when suddenly an older lady in a vintage looking bike passed me with no effort whatsoever. Was she riding an e-bike? Was she not riding an e-bike? The madness.
