I really want people to see this. You can recover part of the cost of
gas just by putting
a sticker on your car and driving around, doing your everyday things.
That’s it. That's
all there is to it. Please check this out, and forward it to someone
you know who is
struggling. It's a great program from a great AMERICAN BASED company:

if you want to avoid the traffic, that's your choices. i assume you're
talking about the trail from tilden road down to where it crosses rock
creek parkway again south of the zoo. it's been like that pretty much
since our run-in with the "hurricane" several years back.
when it's too muddy from recent rains, i'll just climb out of the park

I rode a loop last weekend from the top of Beach drive to Georgetown
and back up the Capital Crescent Trail. The ride was great except for
Rock Creek Park after the blocked-off road ended. The trail at that
point is pitted and not at all conducive to road bikes. The speed of
traffic (where traffic was moving) was much faster than it was in

There is not any real parking near this location. I have seen a car or
two parked on the side of the road near the trail crossing but that is
about it. Your best alternative would probably be the lot at Ashburn

W&OD Parking Question

Hi,
I'm interested in parking off of Cochran Mill Road to enter the W&OD trail
at mile post 30.5. Does anyone know if parking is available here. Is
parking permitted on the shoulder of Cochran Mill Road? Is there a lot
nearby?
Thanks!

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Has it occurred to you that I was NOT in the passing lane and that it is
stupid of you to assume that I was?
Really? I see plenty of large trucks in the left and middle lanes moving
slower than traffic. There is at least some justification for the middle
lane, since too many stupid drivers try to merge at 2/3 of the speed of

They are pretty much the only ones in America to observe something
close to lane discipline.
Cars do all the time in Europe too.

Heads up...Truckers get mostly OJT. On the Job Training. They undergo
a certification program to get their DLs....and thats just about all.
Here in California, there are a ton of truck driving schools, mostly
run by east Indians..often times Sihks. Those schools are designed
