Annual bike ride gets more riders each year..

Story by Mike Salmon

Wednesday, October 26, 2022

The bicyclists pulled out of the Workhouse parking lot in shifts, traveling east on Lorton Road, stopping at Gunston Hall, Pohick Bay, Fort Belvoir, and the Army museum before arriving back at the Workhouse for Sweet Potato Chili. For the braver cyclists, the longer 38-mile ride included Mason Neck and Hallowing Point.

What is the best thing about the ride through Mount Vernon?

“There’s some really nice roads to ride on, especially this time of year” – Mike Short, Nickolas Short, Nathan Sanders

“The variety of trails, I’ll go wherever there’s a good bike ride” – Cathy English, government employee, Woodbridge

“Trails are great, Mount Vernon Trail, the Fairfax County Parkway trail, it’s more about comradery” – Greg Payne, Alexandria resident, Navy veteran and ’83 Alum of the former TC Williams

“Beautiful trails, people respect the biking community so you feel safe out on the road” – Jenni Lear, Alexandria resident, small business owner

“It’s beautiful, lots of historic sites and green space and lots of places to stop and have a beer and something to eat” – Alexis Glenn, FABB secretary

Tour de Mount Vernon bicycle ride returns in October

tour de mount vernon 2022

The annual Tour de Mount Vernon will return to the area on Saturday, Oct 21.

Beginning at 8 a.m., the eighth annual community bicycling event encourages riders to take in the closed George Washington Memorial Parkway alongside views of the Potomac River.

The event is organized by Mount Vernon District Supervisor Dan Storck. While more information on the exact route remains to be released, it will include a mix of paved roads, paved trails and some challenging sections. Two options — a long ride of 40 miles and a short ride of 20 miles — will be offered.

Early registration is open until Sept. 1, with tickets costing $30 per rider. A ticket includes event socks, a day pass to George Washington’s estate, one free day pass to Woodland and Pope-Leighey House and a $5 donation to the Fairfax Alliance for Better Cycling (FABB).

Registration from Sept. 2 through Oct. 21 rises to $35 per ride. All of the above perks apply, except there’s no guarantee that the socks will still be available.

Fairfax County is seeking volunteers for the event. While teens between the ages of 15 and 17 are welcome, they must be accompanied by an adult. Helmets and a liability waiver are also required.

The event is sponsored by several organizations, including FABB, George Washington’s Mount Vernon , the Fairfax County Department of Transportation and Celebrate Fairfax .

The eighth annual Tour de Mount Vernon is dedicated to Dave Evans , a father, husband, softball coach, and United Community and Good Shepherd Housing treasurer and board member who inspired the event. He was also the owner and operator of the award-winning business La Prima Catering .

Earlier this year, the county dedicated a ball field to Evans at Walt Whitman Middle School in Hybla Valley.

Buying a home in Virginia? Why not get a rebate to do so?

tour de mount vernon 2022

Real estate agents claim that home buyers don’t pay anything to use their service, but buyer’s agents usually net 2-3% of a home price as commission. Let me rebate you as much of this as possible.

It is common for a real estate seller’s agent to charge between 5 and 6% of the sales price as commission, a cost which sellers keep in mind when judging how to price their property.

This commission is typically split between the seller and buyer agents, meaning as a buyer, your agent is receiving anywhere from 2.5-3% of the sale price of the home, even if nothing is coming directly out of your pocket.

Mount Vernon Sees a Lot in 2022

A few noteworthy events are a sample of the community growth..

Tour de Mount Vernon

By Mike Salmon

Thursday, January 12, 2023

Speed Study

Early in 2022, traffic engineers from the Virginia Department of Transportation and Fairfax County did a speed limit study on Richmond Highway as a precursor to future development and transportation improvements for this busy thoroughfare in Mount Vernon.

There were numerous pedestrian accidents in this stretch of road.

This $200,000 study is assessing the 45 MPH speed limit on about eight miles of Richmond Highway between Belvoir Road/Meade Road and the Beltway to improve safety for all users, VDOT said.

County Climate Study

Last winter a Climate Projections Report was released by Fairfax County, and the look ahead to the extreme heat, heavy precipitation and inland flooding was part of a potentially bleak future. Rising sea levels would impact the parts of the county right along the Potomac River, and the Mount Vernon District might be the first to experience this.

According to the report, there could be a water level rise by 2050, and by 2085, the higher scenario suggests that most days of the summer will reach temperatures at or above 90 degrees.

It was 1971 when Ellen Pickering and Barbara Lynch thought up the idea for the Mount Vernon Bike Trail along the Potomac River, and their efforts were highlighted at the 50 th  anniversary celebration on Saturday, April 16. Judd Isbell, the president of the Friends of Mount Vernon Trail repeated their mantra: ’We were just two women that said ‘why don’t we’ and we did.” In April, there was a big gathering along the trail to mark the anniversary. A few months following this, a new bridge opened along the trail near Fort Hunt Park, improving the ride for many.

Bike To Work Day

Bicyclists came out in mid-May to celebrate another Bike to Work Day, hitting the well-mapped trail system throughout Mount Vernon to get to work. There were several “pit stops,” set up along the route where coffee and morning snacks were handed out to those who signed up. The whole biking to work concept is being hailed in recent years as a way to fight traffic, but it’s also a facet of the Embark Richmond Highway plan that Supervisor Dan Storck (D-Mount Vernon) and others have supported.

Pig on the Loose

One day last summer, a pig was spotted in the Beulah Street area, and to the locals, it had to be part of the whole picture at Nalls Produce. They have a in-house pig named Penny so this other pig was thought to be Penny, but when Nalls phone started ringing, red flags went up in the Nalls family. Penny was in her pen, so the pig must be an outsider, they thought. Cary Nalls spotted the pig in a vacant lot next door and went over there with a blanket and caught the rogue pig.

They intended to pass it along to one of the farmers they worked with, but fast forward a few months, and the pig has become part of the family at Nalls.

WISH Center Opens 

In another step to improve the lives of many that live in and around the Audubon Estates in Mount Vernon, officials opened WISH Center in October that will act as a catalyst for job skills training to improve the incomes in this part of Hybla Valley.

WISH stands for the Workforce Innovation Skills Hub and it offers training in tech industries that pay better than retail and service-based jobs that many in the Richmond Highway area are employed in.

The Tour de Mount Vernon brings cyclists on a fun ride through the southern and central portions of the Mount Vernon District including a scenic route through Fort Belvoir. The route consisted of paved roads, paved trails and had several challenging sections. Ride monitors and Fairfax County Police helped with directions and kept everyone safe. This year, there was a 19-mile route and a 38-mile route for the real cyclists.

Pedestrian Deaths

Over the past year, the Richmond Highway area has been dangerous to pedestrians and a couple of people have been killed crossing this busy road. Authorities have taken note of these fatalities, providing funding to improve lighting and sidewalks in some of these areas to improve safety. Fairfax County saw a record high number of pedestrians killed by drivers in 2022.
