I’ve made a handful of major trips in the past 6 weeks on my bike, all from my current residence of northern Virginia (DC suburb/satellite go brr).

• College Park (from foggy bottom)

  • Visiting friends on campus on Juneteenth. My company had the day off

• Alexandria

  • Wanted to finish the southern segment of the Arlington loop, and see some of the Potomac.
  • Felt a little isolating, being the seemingly only “alone” person out in public.

• National Harbor

  • I’d visited MGM casino (ew) for a work trip, using public transport, and wanted to bike to the location. My bike was stolen, hadn’t purchased a replacement at the time. But I saw some nice trails on the map
  • Friends/Acquaintances wee going kayaking in the harbor, so I had an excuse to go
  • Wanted to try the 495 bridge across the Potomac that connects PG County and Alexandria

I should start using strava, but that feels icky.
