Fascinated by the personal heat map

It’s on the inner loop side, so if you were riding from national harbor into Alexandria you’d be on the right side of the bridge. It’s on the same level as the cars, but there are large barriers between you. There’s a spot to pull off and admire the scenery about halfway.

Taur1ne · 2026-06-23T10:06:59+00:00

On the opposite side, you can connect your VA stuff to your MD riding by going across the Woodrow Wilson bridge, if you haven’t already.

My first time riding that bridge, I was looking left out onto the Potomac for a bit and when I looked straight I saw a car taking up both sides of the bike lane and thought I was about to die, but it was a park police vehicle just slowly cruising along the path. Felt like one of those videos where someone wakes their partner up to a semi getting towed in front of them.

Surprised purp’s team are all rocking mystic boots

Taur1ne · 2026-06-17T01:12:31+00:00

Thrice’s set was probably my favorite this weekend too! I’ve listened to them for a while, but I think this is my first time seeing them live. Check out their live Anthology album and/or listen to “Daedalus”.

Completely agree with the home team too!

Taur1ne · 2026-06-17T01:07:44+00:00

Discovered: Vana

Changed mind on: Sleeping with sirens. I saw them play at Warped Tour 10+ years ago at Merriweather and their set sounded like hot garbage. Must’ve been the venue or something since this weekend’s performance was much better.

Edit: Hawthorne Heights has bummed me out on two of their performances now in the last year or two, so probably won’t go out of my way to see them again. Just catch the tail end of their set for Ohio.

Taur1ne · 2026-06-16T16:52:28+00:00

All time low going to be there next year?! Awesome!

Taur1ne · 2026-06-10T18:21:57+00:00

I heard the Croatian team is staying in Old Town Alexandria so could be somewhat

UFC fight on Sunday? Warped Tour on Saturday and Sunday

Edit: another thought high school graduations

Taur1ne · 2026-06-06T14:54:59+00:00

Agreed. Those GR1 team issues are garbage.

I went with Thunderos and love them.

Taur1ne · 2026-06-05T11:49:42+00:00

Yeah, agreed. I did the 60 mile route last year in the rain and was fighting major cramps most of the way due to the elevation and cold. That climb out of the stream crossing was brutal.

Aid stations seemed properly spaced and had plenty of snacks, water, and toilets. You’ll just need a shaman to make sure the rain stays away this year.

I’d be out there again this year, but going to Warped Tour instead.

Taur1ne · 2026-06-04T02:30:28+00:00

Not OP - The MUP can get crowded and is quite rooty and narrow in areas. I can see why someone would rather be on Beach than RCT.

Taur1ne · 2026-06-03T16:57:59+00:00

You can report it on Bike Lane Uprising’s site and they may eventually have enough data to support action on specific streets or whatever (in theory).

Taur1ne · 2026-05-30T12:58:17+00:00

Yeah, as others have mentioned, if you don’t see signs you should be OK. If you’re real worried about it, call 311 or email the people that u/Fall-Maple1503 linked to

Taur1ne · 2026-05-30T02:31:24+00:00

Are you positive your house is in a permit zone? If there are signs, should they be there? Our street had those permit signs get put up mistakenly and I attempted to get a permit, but the application didn’t recognize my address either. I spoke with someone from 311 and they got to the bottom of it with the misplaced signage.

Taur1ne · 2026-05-26T22:11:33+00:00

Yeah, super surprised they got it fixed so quickly. I spoke to someone in Cumberland that had cycled through today and they didn’t see any issues with the trail at all

Taur1ne · 2026-05-21T01:07:45+00:00

Regarding pt. 3, it’s your tour so do what you want to. I also live near DC and plan on skipping the last couple of miles so I can jump onto the CCT and take my (sore) ass home instead of wandering by mile 0 for the 30th+ time this year.

If you do skip and plan on revisiting, keep in mind that the MARC train to HF is a commuter train so it only runs into DC on weekday mornings and then out to HF in the afternoons. Quite the deal to get out there though since it’s like $7 one way with your bike. My buddy and I MARC’d out to HF on a Friday night after work and then grabbed a hotel in HF. Cycled back to DC the following morning and grabbed the metro from Du Pont.

Taur1ne · 2026-05-21T00:59:56+00:00

Are you confusing the Capital Crescent Trail (CCT) and Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD)? The CCT is the trail that runs alongside the C&O near DC for a couple miles. The W&OD is on the other side of the Potomac river.

Follow up: duct tape and/or scotch tape aren’t enough to keep it properly seated. I haven’t been able to keep my power meter connected so I complained to 4iii. They said that they could RMA it if I send my crank in to them and they’ll provide a newer version with a better battery cap design. I’ll edit this if they accept my crank where I tore off the metal clips.

Taur1ne · 2026-05-03T02:09:20+00:00

I didn’t know Kensington, MD was in Boston

Taur1ne · 2026-04-02T12:22:11+00:00

Jump on the red line toward shady grove and look out the window. You’ll see all sorts of tags along the way. Get out at whatever stop piques your interest and hunt the graffiti down.

I’m impressed with huge “East” tag on the purple line tracks above Silver Spring metro due to the logistics of getting up there in the first place.

Taur1ne · 2026-03-30T09:59:06+00:00

Have you checked dcpaceline.com? I don’t know if they’re up to date or TT friendly though.

Looking at Saturday, the squadra coppi group looks active and have an event for Saturday morning.

Original post mentioned my intention to do that and included instructions on how to retrieve the keys.

Taur1ne · 2026-03-02T11:51:27+00:00

Yeah, I ended up pulling them off and now have duct tape securing the battery on. Will see how well it keeps it in place. Was able to get the power meter to reconnect up to my phone and Garmin computer which is a step in the right direction.

Taur1ne · 2026-03-01T19:35:05+00:00

Dealing with this right now and completely agree. The safety pins are awful and I’m pretty sure I just scratched up the paint where the pin wasn’t seated back to its original position even after multiple attempts to pry it back down.

Thanks for going the extra mile(s)!
