Let's Go Nats
As of today, Spring is officially here. Not because the weatherman said so or that it’s actually going to stay warm out. Today is Opening Day.
Nationals’ games are a good way to spend an evening outside chatting and reminiscing about how the time you caught a foul ball. However, getting to and from the stadium can be a hassle.
Parking is expensive and the traffic can be bumper to bumper. The metro can be packed like a can of sardines.
Why not bike?
In fact, the Nationals make biking an easy option. In addition to the 250 bicycle racks near the stadium the Washington Nationals also have a free bike valet.
For the convenience of our bicycling fans, Nationals Park offers a FREE bike valet located in Red Garage C at the corner of N & 1st Street, SE. Access to the valet is on N Street just left of the entrance.
The valet will be accepting bikes two hours before game time and will close 1 hour after the last inning.
The tricky part of a route for most people will be crossing the Mall and the Southwest Freeway. I’d recommend 7th St to M St SW or 3rd St to Independence to New Jersey Ave SE.
If you need a route suggestion, let me know in the comments.
That’s a great idea! I would definately try that if I lived in DC. I wonder, howver, if there are problems with theft.
Hopefully the nats will be better this year. They haven’t been good since they were in Canada:

Riding your bike to the game is a great idea!
