I know this won’t win for novelty, but here’s the newly opened Cedar Lane bridge over I-66 in Vienna, complete with a lovely and wide multi-use path! A great reopened connection between Merrifield and Vienna!

2745-2735 Cedar Ln, Vienna, VA 22180

Sorry to be a drag everyone, things have been crazy and I haven’t been able to get anything in but sleaze rides…

I am unfortunately out in Springfield and bounded by kids and distance so have not been to a CC yet. I’d love to try to meet folks this year though, so keep me in mind.

For those of us who couldn’t make the get together, how do we find our teams?

OK, so the kids chose different names, and now they’re number two and three! Let’s see if we can keep it up… #withkidSpeedDemon and #withkidMagicFlame

I just realized that I never signed up for this year. Now the link to authorize Strava is not working. Help please!

I have a confession to make. I moved last September from Vienna (VA) down to West Springfield and haven’t biked to or from work since. 😮 On my regular, motorized commute I take an express bus to the Pentagon, and I biked to and from there just once.

Well, today’s the day I’m biking the whole way home (a little ways south of the Audrey Moore RECenter). I have mapped out two routes, one that takes the W&OD to Banneker Park and then south to Annandale Rd (17 miles). The other takes the W&OD to Gallows and then connects to the CCT (23 miles). I’m taking the shorter one today.

If anyone has tips on navigating Annandale, I’d appreciate any intel.

How was the ride through Annandale? I’ve only taken that route once, but I found that the roads with bike lanes were pretty well marked and I felt safe enough. The ride up Gallows is also very decent, but obviously longer. I take the CCT from West Springfield to near Mosaic about once a week and its wonderful, makes me happy to get to ride through the trees along the creek.

With my schedule of school and kids, unfortunately I think a happy hour is going to be too challenging for me. As of right now the only day I have close to open is Friday, and I’m hesitant to push for that.

I’m acting pretty late on this, but will anyone have zipper pulls at tomorrow’s Presidents Day ride?
