The Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail is Open
The
Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail opened on Saturday, June
6. OHBTC members celebrated the occasion with a ride
across the bridge. More than forty cyclists descended
the hill from the Oxon Hill Park and Ride Lot to the
Potomac River Waterfront Park. On the bridge trail,
they met hundreds of cyclists coming from Virginia.
Photos are online. One cyclist had a camera mounted
on the handlebars and shot a
nine-minute video as he crossed the bridge.
