Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

It's a stretch (about 23 miles each way), so I usually do it only about twice a week. However, it's a really pretty ride; even when the weather's against me, I still have an enjoyable commute. Which is more than I can say about your wife's daily trek. Ugh. Can't imagine driving from Tysons

Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

Kevin, that is a hike. My wife works for Deloitte in Tysons and gets to battle traffic on 495 from Silver Spring. My commute is not as long however I do ride along a section of stream that is stocked with Rainbow and Brown Trout by Maryland Game and Inland Fisheries, which adds a little bonus.

Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

Very cool Kevin, that's a healthy distance and definitely the most enjoyable way to get from Mt Vernon to Tysons I've heard of! :) I hadn't connected the fact that the W runs so close to Tysons and connects w/ Gallows before. I live near the MVT/4Mile Run intersection and take the MVT north

Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

Tony - I may have the only truly enjoyable commute in all of northern Virginia: I pick up the Mount Vernon trail about a mile from my house and take that to the Four Mile Run trail (which intersects the MVT just before National Airport), then ride that to the beginning of the W, take the W to

Great story Dave, I can picture that to! :) Kevin what is your route to go from Mount Vernon to Tysons? On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 8:28 PM Kevin Lindsey wrote: > My commute this morning was uphill and into the wind from Mount Vernon to > Tysons Corner. It was brutal but,

[RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

My commute this morning was uphill and into the wind from Mount Vernon to Tysons Corner. It was brutal but, boy, what a great ride home later that afternoon: downhill and a 15-20 mph tailwind virtually the whole way. Didn't know a Hunqapillar could go that fast. Kevin On Friday, February 26,

Jesus, that had me laughing just envisioning that. I pretty much had to low crawl my way under that tree this afternoon. Took my back to my days in the Army for a second. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

Once I was riding after a storm in Ellicott City, and a tree was across the road. It looked high enough to ride under so as I approached I went into a tuck with my adam's apple placed gently on the bar tops, face looking down at the pavement. Not smart. I barely passed under the limb. I

Yes, the weather report is looking great for Sunday so a friend and I are planning to spend the day out riding. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

[RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

Yesterday I was coasting downhill in Columbia, Maryland and a headwind hit so hard I felt like I was gonna coast to a stop. Just before that the bike was getting slapped around from a sideways wind. But it is supposed to get up to 60F this weekend. Yeah! -- You received this message because

[RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

I actually ended up crawling under and then pulling the bike behind me. And then had to play limbo while crossing the bridge. It added a little excitement to my daily route, so I'm not complaining. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

[RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

The wind was fierce today... I was sucking wind (literally) both ways and generally felt pretty worn out. Wind is the part of the forecast I pay the least attention to but days like today will make me rethink that! Did you have to shoulder your (great looking) XOXO over that monster or was

[RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions

Philip, it's on part of the Northwest Branch trail heading towards Adelphi, MD. It's my daily route to College Park. About 2 hours later when I was heading home a crew had cleaned it all up. With the tornado warnings we had the other night I'm sure stuff is down all over the place. -- You

Barkin' mad, lad! There's a whole stoppage of xylem and phloem that makes the sap in my veins freeze up. Extra adventure always welcome! I had a similar unexpected "gate" on one of my recent rides. Not as impressive in size at that behemoth though. With abandon, Patrick On Friday, February
