Arriving in Vienna which is about 7 miles into the ride for me. Nothing interesting to record before that but traffic. It was an amazing blue sky day.
Leaving Vienna, heading into Fairfax.
This very fun couple rode past me at Gallows Road. They were cranking music, riding fast, wearing tatoos, and sort of dancing in their saddles. I snuck a pic.
Crossing 495.
Just me and my bike.
I don't know what this building is, but there is usually an old guy here, leaning against a huge 1980s gray sedan, with the driver's door open, cranking music. If you catch his eye, he will sometimes wave. Missing on this day.
Pedestrian bridge over route 7 in Falls Church.
The elusive Four Mile Run. It is both everywhere and nowhere.
Crossing 29. We're in Arlington now.
I like this little spot in Arlington, although if you don't know where you're going, you could lose the trail getting here. But it's a nice little shaded 1/4 mile.
Then it opens up and follows 66. This section is always loud and hot. A little desolate feeling.
Turning left onto the Custis trail. By turning a bit north and then following 66 in on the Custis, I add a few more miles. :)
Riding along the north side of 66. There are some pretty good downhills through here. I hit 30 mph the other day, despite all the traffic.
Just crossing through Rossilyn and heading down to the GW parkway.
Crossing over the GW parkway.
Bridge down to Roosevelt Island parking lot.
Bike portraits.
Pedestrian bridge to Roosevelt Island.
Bridge along potomac leaving Roosevelt Island. It looks picturesque, but it's too long, full of splinters and very bumpy. But also green and shady!
One lane underpass - GW parkway.
Gravelly Point Park by National Airport where everyone watches the planes take off.
Marina along GW parkway - forgot the name of course!
Arriving in Old Town.
Jones Point Park under Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Potomac River.
Cute house while walking with Steve to Chadwicks.
The pay off!
