Ahh okay. I can vouch for the one in Falls Church but haven’t been to that one.

Ironically this intersection actually used to have the euro-style zigzag lines! Only such example on the W&OD (or anywhere else I have seen in this country).

Pretty sure they also had them in Ashburn at the Belmont Ridge Road crossing. Not sure if they are still there as I know they are prepping that area for a new overpass.

I am really happy so many folks had a chance to ride out there for the first time.

Skyline really is one of the best places in the world to ride a bike and #BikeDC is so lucky to be just an hour away from Front Royal. Hard not love it there.

Pretty sure that there is legal precedent for victory as long as someone took a screenshot.

Never been a big fan of the NBC but this might make it interesting.

Climbing number is the only number that matters. If you have a climbing number of 1,000 or more (imperial) you will live forever*.

I rode Skyline a decent number of times last year and never had a problem with any car or motorcycle or fellow cyclist. There is warm blackberry cobbler and blackberry ice cream at the Big Meadows wayside. That’s really all the reason you need to give it a shot.

Yes, I now purposefully ride Westmoreland St. instead of taking Van Buren up to the trail to slightly reduce the amount of climbing I have to do on my commute

This is the saddest thing I think I have ever read on the forum. I think it’s like 29 vertical feet total from trailhead to the WOD connector at the top.

If you are on the fence about supporting it, remember that a bridge will increase the amount of climbing for your commute.

I love you eric but I have no f5cking idea what you are talking about right now.

We are being told no bikes allowed in the red zone beginning 3am Thursday. This comes from our building management company.
