Man, that hill really blows this time of year... between the leaves and the paint line it's an absolute blast. I've luckily never gone down there but I've skidded out on the paint once or twice. My natural instinct is to take the second switchback too tight and end up clipping the line.

If I've got a few moments the next time around I'll hop into the brush and take a look. Then tell you I couldn't find it no matter what...*kidding*

On threads like this I can't help but think that there should be some kind of DC area "facebook" where we can post pics of our bikes so we can all say hi to each other. I'm the dude on the Blue Surly LHT with screaming yellow Ortliebs panniers, though most days I use the Williamsburg Blvd bike lane to the Chain Bridge to get from West FC to Bethesda.

Here's to keeping the rubber side down,
