I should know better than to try to do more than one thing at a time. Sorry for leaving this out of my previous message! This link should get you started:...

checked out W&O yesterday. Lot's of pavement but some areas with a decent amount of snow. End of day today may yield some more favorable results, especially if...
Wow, thanks for all this info. Maybe I should stay on the mountain bike for one more weekend, in case I hit some snow on the trails. Keeping those fingers...
Hi everyone, Below is a list of the upcoming Bike Washington rides through April. I may do mountain bike rides on Sundays but those will be announced as they...
Any takers on a ride tomorrow? The BWI trail near my office looks fine, except a couple of street crossings where huge mounds got plowed onto the trail. I'm...
This sounds like fun, but it would be better for my lungs if I rode in the afternoon when the air has had a chance to warm up. (Damn asthma!) I'm going to stay...

I tried the Rock Creek trail starting at Lake Needwood on Tuesday (54 degrees that day) and it was still covered with snow, so I opted to not break my neck and...
I found the same result on the Paint Branch Trail but after the rain on Wednesday and Thursday that trail is now almost totally clear. I have gone so far as...
I heard from Ed a few days ago (sorry I forgot your last name) that the Mount Vernon trail is clear from Old Town to DC. I've also heard that parts of the WOD...

W&O looked pretty good from a few points this morning so it will be worth a try, espacially after today's balmy temps. C&O still covered and I do not know...
Depending on the weather and how I feel, I may try out the WOD on Sunday afternoon. I live real close to the Shirlington end. However I might drive out to...
Changes to plan: Ian and I are meeting at noon tomorrow (Saturday) on the Mount Vernon trail at the point where it intersects the 4 Mile Run Trail. This is at...
What is the best Metro station to that point? I assume the one at the airport is closest but I don't know how to get around to the trail from it (I doubt it...
Michael, Actually it's quite easy to ride from the Mt. Vernon trail to the National Airport Metro. I got bored one day and tried it. IIRC, you just turn off...
On Tuesday night, March 18th, join Tour De Friends from 6-8pm for 'Rider Night' at Rock Bottom in Arlington and Bethesda! Enjoy great food and Rock Bottom's...
3 things about the mt vernon trail, well the first isn't about the trail, but my metro ride down there. The Galleria pl/chinatown metro station is awful. I'm...

Saturday was extra-crowded. I was on the trail (and the Custis) from 3 pm to 5 pm, and it was worse than I'd ever seen it. Guess all the cabin-fever types were...
has anyone done this ride? i'm thinking of doing a combination of this route, north to gettysburg, and the maybe the gettysburg town ride, but i think i'll be...
The "worst" hills are on the south side of the route. (It's not really that hilly, IMHO). My feeling is that the hills will be about the same in regardless of...
Well I was frustrated by the unusually crowded trail conditions on Saturday but I guess not as annoyed as Ian was. I think Deborah is right -- everybody and...

Nope, it wasn't you. :-) The W&OD can be crowded in places, but not in many, and nowhere near that. The crowding tends to cluster around Vienna, Reston,...
I good place to start a Purcellville and back trip on WOD is Vienna. You miss most of the traffic and street crossings. The new Spokes ETC is also about 1...
I noticed that Montgomery County has finally set up the North Bethesda Trail bridge across I-270, which means it will soon be ready (??)...I'm wondering what...

You did the right thing. I regard these trails -- and especially the Capital Crescent and the Mt. Vernon -- as the equivalent of interstate highways. People...
