Notable Road Finding! Oxon Hill Bike Club donates services to Prince George's County Roads Department -- For the Rural Legacy event, Steve and Lou Dall'Orso drove the routes before the event and marked the significant potholes for rider safety. We were particularly worried about the significant and multiple potholes on Fenno Road as riders descend the steep hill from Merkle to St Thomas Church Rd. So Steve and Lou used a lot of yellow paint there. And - evidently the road repair crews filled every one of the yellow marked potholes some time in the past few weeks!! We are a public service club!
