My most enjoyable journey to get to the NOVA Open thus far!
Cutting out that last exit to get into Crystal City when approaching from the North made the decision to bike there worth it before I even knew how wonderful the trails & biking infrastructure of Northern Virginia were. This was by far the most stress-free & relaxing way to commute to & kick off the NOVA Open.
Here's some additional shots from my travels along the Mount Vernon Trail.
My family joined me later in the week and we hopped the metro up to the zoo to see the giant pandas.
Good times!! Can't wait to do it again 😎
