Washington DC Arrivals and Information

General RFTW Discussion

As we edge closer to May, I will be posting a few updates about our plans for the end of the C2C Routes in Springfield VA. Hopefully, you have had a chance to take a look at the RFTW Podcast with Boots and Hitch where I walk through some of the details about Springfield.

I mentioned in the Podcast that I made a couple of videos to orient riders with the arrival into Springfield on the Coast-to-Coast routes. Riders on Midway will be escorted up the Fairfax county Parkway to Backlick Rd into American Legion Post 176. It’s a very short ride – 10 minutes give or take.

The Southern and Central Routes will be taking I-66 and I-495 Express lanes to the exits for Springfield. The escorted packs will be taken across I-495 (Beltway) from the Express Lanes. Non-escorted riders should stay in the left lanes of the beltway and take the exit for I-95 South Express, into Springfield.

The Video for Non-Escorted riders into Springfield is up on youtube at https://youtu.be/A1Cpv0IXLz8

Why are we calling it C2C now…

What happened to ATW?

Asking for a friend :slight_smile:

By guess would be because he is explaining the routes… Themselves… They are Coast to Coast routes… ATW is the duration you are on a Coast 2 Coast route… If you join halfway through you are no longer ATW… but you are on a Coast 2 Coast route… IDK… just a guess…

The C2C comes from distinguishing between Coast to Coast (LA to DC) and Wall to Wall (DC to Marseilles). One can go ATW, or participate, on either.
