So far, so good.

No problems until I got off the train at L'Enfant Plaza. I waited there for about 40 minutes for the Silver Line which never showed up. In retrospect I probably should have caught an Orange Line train.

After waiting 40 minutes on the Blue/Orange/Silver Line platform I left the station and grabbed a bicycle from the CaBi station across the street. I bicycled to Rosslyn and caught the Orange Line from there.

I wasn't sure exactly how to get from L'Enfant to Rosslyn. I took Independence Ave from 7th to 15th Street. I took the 14th Street Bridge across the Potomac and then the Mount Vernon Trail to Rosslyn. I circled around for a few minutes until I found the closest CaBi station to the Metro.

The Orange Line showed up just as I got to the platform. It took 50 minutes to get from there to Tyson's Corner. On a good day I can make it from Takoma to Tyson's Corner in 50-60 minutes. The ride from Rosslyn to East Falls Church went smoothly enough. The wait at East Falls Church for a Silver Line train was not short.

Finally got to work. Altogether it took me about 90 minutes longer than usual. The upside is that I got a little more exercise than usual and it opened my eyes to the possibility of bicycling home from Rosslyn.
