May 18 - Bike to Work Day

Fri, May 18, 2012 7:00 AM | Jane Hudnall (Administrator)

Leaders Jim and Jane Hudnall with Larry Peed, Jan Tucker, Randy Schoch, Janell Saunders, Ruth Anne Cumberland, Mike Bivens, Bernard Hill and Ruddy Elly rode from the Oxon Hill Park and Ride Lot on Oxon Hill Road to DC. Janell, Ruth Anne and Bernard were going to work and the rest of us rode along enjoying the beautiful weather, free tee shirts and snacks provided by WABA and local businesses.

Along the way, the group visited the Oxon Hill “pit stop” on the trail to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and another “pit stop” in old town Alexandria.  Jane and Ruddy missed a turn and crossed the Potomac on the Memorial Bridge; the others crossed on the 14th Street Bridge. We met at the Ronald Reagan Building courtyard “pit stop” for bike commuters  

The non-working riders returned to Oxon Hill by way of the South Capitol Street Bridge and along the Oxon Cove Trail, using a route both Randy and Jim had used for commuting  to work. 

When Ruth Anne and Janell were riding home after work, the seat bolt on Janell’s bike broke near National Airport. Ruth Anne phoned Chris, who picked them up and took them to Big Wheel Bikes in Alexandria to get the bike repaired. Thanks for the rescue, Chris!

    Have ridden into DC across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail, but this was the first time returned on the Oxon Cove Trail (or even realized it existed). Now know where they filmed the movie, Jurassic Park. Returning from work up the hill at Oxon Hill Farm must have been a real "treat".
