There are a few spots along the Mount Vernon Trail that are poorly designed and difficult to navigate safely. One is the “S” curve near the general aviation terminal at National Airport. According to this sign, a cyclist was seriously hurt in a head on collision here last weekend. If you saw the collision, call the number. Having a witness can help with insurance claims.
That is a treacherous section of the trail and I would have been there this past Saturday had there been any parking at Gravelly Point.
YIKES! Yeah, that’s a tough section. I missed seeing that sign.
Passed by today. One stub was taken
