ok, crazy biker girl is at it again.
i looked at the map on the birchmere site, and it seems the place is like 1/2 mile south of the 4 mile run trail. which would mean i could take the 14th street bridge to the mt vernon trail to the 4 mile run trail and get there in less than 30 min.
has anyone done this?
-
not a biker so have never done it, but it is not that far off route 1 and there are a fair amount of trails in the area so I imagine it is possible, but you should also keep in mind the Birchmere neighborhodd isnt the best
also, do you think you could log in to Yahoo and reject (or accept) my trade offer, thanks!
-
Sounds right (coming from a non-local).
Have you used this bike route tool (http://www.commuterpage.com/website/btwd/viewer.htm?Title=Bike%20to%20Work%20Day)?

thanks! that thing confirmed that my route is possible. woo hoo. birchmere here i come.
-
according to the birchmere, this is how you get there:
From Washington DC
14th sreet south across 14th street bridge.
Take left hand exit for Rte 1 South.
Follow Rte 1 thru Crystal City, to stoplight at Glebe Rd.
Turn right onto Glebe Rd.
Follow to second stoplight, turn left onto Mt.. Vernon Ave.
Go approx .4 miles & we're on the left, just past the AutoZone, at 3701
nothing about trails.
-
i mean, you could bike that route, but you'd have to be somewhat suicidal. why do it when there are trails available?
-
why bike when you can drive a car. plus, according to the national weather service, you should really stay in an air conditioned environment and stay out of the sun.

Only if you are lazy and out of shape or over 80. The rest of us ignore the heat advisories and still manage to have fun on our bikes.

Here here! For me, a heat advisory just means "maybe you should drink some water."

I would assume that if you ride fast enough, you would work up a nice breeze. :D
It's working up a sweat and then afterwards stinking like an Italian sub (sandwich) that I would be concerned about.
Of course, this is coming from someone who LOVEEEESSSSS Summer and even enjoys the heat.
-
report back:
yup, it worked. it was about a 20min ride from dc. take any bridge to the mt vernon trail, turn off after the airport on the 4 mile run trail. the first road where the trail splits (over/under the road) after the power switching station, go over. The road is marked Arlington Ridge Rd. but it's Mt Vernon Ave too. So, hang a left, over the bridge, and about 1/2 mi up on the left is Birchmere.
(that arlington ridge rd thing screwed me up. i had to exercise my spanish to figure out where the hell i was.)

haha, with that obstacle it can maybe be considered a real sport :D
SERIOUS QUESTION!!! *gasp*
i was wondering, what do you people think about while biking?
are you like kids who pretend they are in the "big game"? (for you people the big race)
-
i work in c.city. [i work for the man, i take his money]. at night i would recommend biking before bussing it. but i dont think the area is that bad. though single women should beware at night. you may run into Manuel. he's sauve, but he smells like an aqua-velva tanker accident:
<img src="http://www.funshop.com/images/fs_f28043_l.jpg" alt=" - " />
if u r biking it dont stop and dilly dally. common sense. dont ask for directions, if u r a guy u shouldnt ever do that anyway, even if it means u go all the way down to Mt vernon and back just to get to birchmere. keep moving. u can always get off trail at airport and take local streets rather than take the 4mile run trail which im sure has some obscured areas that could be a risk, but just like anywhere else, --but this aint georgetown. it also helps to carry huge chains

I think you might find they're from El Salvador around that neighbourhood.

[/b]
Personally......
"Ow! My arse hurts"
OR
"Shit, my knob is tingling"
OR
"Oh God! How many fucking hills does this tiny fucking Island have for fucks sake"
OR
"My missus is dead if she's had that last beer in the fridge when I get home"
OR
"Better head home, running out of liquids"
......That kind of stuff.
-
El Salvador, Mexico...same difference. Like North Carolina and Mississippi. Or Canaada and the US.

hey it's not fair to call them "dangerous Mexican gangs"! they are taco bell employees! and the fact that taco bell gives u the shits and you are a danger to the community because of isnt the fault of the mexicans working at the "bell".
-
i'm bored therefore i shall write. when im biking i think about:
- how much my life sucks.
- how ive fucked it up
- these thoughts momentarily interrupted by total change in focus to a nice pair of breasts, thighs, or ass on some women i pass by.
- how out of shape i am
- how tired i am
- and back to "how much my life sucks, how ive fucked it up."
- another supposedly straight guy passes by on his bike often with little regard for others on the trail -- in tights and a helmet not becasue of safety or performance but this turd has to do what everyone else is doing b/c thats what makes him complete. and who is really gay deep down inside - in his homo-erotic get-up yet hates gays [who at least hav the balls to be gay - while this turd doesnt]. me cringing at the sight of male buttocks so tight in those homo-pants they wear. not a pretty sight.
- revenge
- how sick of dc i am and need time away from it.
- [repeat thought cycle]

Somehow I think you might be a fuck up whose life sucks. Perhaps you find lycra homo-erotic because your are totally flaming.
-
yeah i am a fuckup, i think i made that point clear einstein. no wonder you wear bicycle tights, sheepboy, bahhh. your originality is flooring me. perhaps i am a flaming queen, tho i luv tits too much to ever be, but i'm not wanna be tights-wearing clown. sah-shay-shon-tay!

Thanks for the warning for those of us at work. Asshole.

what part of the words "boob picts" was unclear to you?
-
Originally posted by muschi:

No, not at all, sexuality is not defined by what one wears. Moreover I grew p long enough to go to not care what other people think of my attire. That said I think if you saw me in my tights you might get a little firm.

Why does this woman have nipples on her ass cheeks?

I don't see any difference between those and your ex's funbags, but maybe that's just me!

"cycling shorts...alternative of an arse so sore you'd think you'd spent a week in the black ghetto section of Rikers Island, I'll take the looking like a total idiot anyday. "
-------------perhaps the bicycle_seat_for_chronic_farters i saw the other day is an alternative?
