Laura says that she supports the naming of it, but as a fairly private person, doesn’t want to be involved in the process. We have the go ahead to move forward.

Doing what he did best. Pete helped me pick out this bike, based on his knowledge of my riding style, and didn’t even roll his eyes when I wanted a powertap wheelset. This photo was taken the day before one of Pete’s favorite events, Rebecca’s Private Idaho, as he was adjusting my spoke tension.[ATTACH=CONFIG]21636[/ATTACH]

Just like the Donaldson Run trail, which is officially the Zachary Taylor Trail, but there isn’t a single sign anywhere announcing that.
It’s on the BA bike maps that way. And WashCycle uses it.
I think it should be discussed further!

Funny thing is, I don’t think I even covered it all!

Does anyone know the protocol for switching registration from one pitstop location to a different one?
Email Nick Russo at Waba. He’ll do it.

It was a different date and different ride. But yeah, make sure to register for Bike to Work Day on 5/19: biketoworkmetrodc.org

Yes, I have recommended this change every time, but it’s never done. The section of “trail” alongside the National Foreign Affairs Training Center is designated in red, which indicates “off-street trail,” like the 4-mile run trail or Bluemont Junction Trail. But it’s a sidewalk–just a sidewalk with no buffer from the road–not wide and usually covered with debris. If this is an “off-street” trail, then every sidewalk in the county should be designated as red on the map.
I do not know what to change it to, but there is no way it should be designated the same as the WOD or the Custis. Maybe you need some sort of other designation for crappy sidewalk connections.

On the Comfort Map it is also marked as off-street and “most comfortable.” I don’t find that section of sidewalk to be that comfortable because of its proximity to high-speed exiting traffic and the fact that it is almost impossible to share the sidewalk with someone else, like a pedestrian or cyclist coming the other way. I would reclassify that section as “blue.”
Also, be sure to include the 4MR detour on the Comfort Map even though it goes into Alexandria (gasp!).
Steve–thanks for your input! We’ve heard you every time you’ve recommended this change, we just don’t agree with you. The trail near the National Foreign Affairs Training Center is subpar, but it is a necessary connection, and that is why it is shown on the regular map. We will not be adding multiple designations on the map to distinguish between the that and something like the WOD or Custis.
The Four Mile Run detour is a temporary detour, and won’t get a special update either.

It is shameful that Bike Arlington labels that nightmare an “off street trail” and colors it green on the comfort map
The trail itself is separated from the road and is comfortable to ride on. That designation has nothing to do with the crossings, which are marked with “Use Caution” symbols.
That being said, as we are always updating the map, and will be doing so again soon, do you have any suggestion for how it can be less shamefully labeled?
There has also been talk about realigning that section of trail to cross closer to the apex of the exit ramps. You’d have to be in touch with planning staff to see what the latest on that is.

Here’s the QOM ride. Marshall MacArthur climb in Vienna.
Yes, you can see when you switch to time vs distance around the 33 minute mark there is a pause in a driveway. Then lots of quick accelerations after that.
Go ahead and flag it. (Hit the wrench button underneath “weather” and select “flag”)
ParticipantCan you pass along the link for analysis? I frequently have to flag people’s files who either get in a car, or have a GPS error, so I’m pretty good at picking out what looks legit and what doesn’t. Check for multiple, fast accelerations at stop lights. 0-30 over and over again can be an indicator.

They solved it by only allowing employees to sign up for a subsidized account 30 days in advance. Otherwise someone could quite and take a lifetime CB membership with them.
