@vj5c07 @fosdaneDC Got it. Riggs-Michigan segment (especially north of Sargent) seems like a possibility even by standard metrics - great place to focus on curb to curb changes with schools, a library, park/green space, retail, Metro access right there.

@BikeGillian A lot of the people who I know that spend a lot of time over there aren't really active on this platform anymore. Shoot me an email - elliott at https://t.co/GOMVyUpOtY and I can try to send some more folks to connect with.

[Elliott Caldwell @ef_caldwell]

@BikeGillian Also since Oudenaarde is basically on the Tour of Flanders route, it's easy to stay there and ride a lot of the course, do the classic climbs (Paterberg, Kwaremont etc).

[Elliott Caldwell @ef_caldwell]

@BikeGillian Check out the Chainstay in Oudenaarde - good folks, they help racers & race tourists: https://t.co/fBNXR6PeJu

@SC_Cycling @Pflax1 That region does include Norfolk (Elizabeth River Trail) and much of the Peninsula (VA Capital Trail) plus there are new trail sections in Suffolk & the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail is incredibly popular so if they are counting trail bike usage as trips, it is a bit less surprising.

[Elliott Caldwell @ef_caldwell]

Big news for the @ECGreenway in VA as construction is set to begin on the Fall Line Trail soon!

[The Virginia Mercury @MercuryVirginia]

From @vcucns: The regional Fall Line Trail, a 43-mile-long trail from Petersburg to Ashland that will be a counterpart to the Capital Trail, is set to begin construction in Henrico County next month. https://t.co/vPjAHMhnLg
