If you happen to have been biking down the W&OD Trail a couple of days ago and saw someone who kind of looked like Stanley Cup champ Alexander Ovechkin — it probably was.
The Washington Capitals captain and one-time Arlington resident can be seen biking the trail in a video posted to social media recently.
The Instagram video shows a sleeveless Ovechkin and his personal trainer, Pavel, quietly biking down a straight section of the trail in either Arlington or Falls Church — the video is labeled “Arlington, Virginia” but the section of trail shown also looks like a section just west of the county — apparently as part of a training routine.

Anyone else sneak a ride in between the rain this weekend?
You had some good company if so!#ArlingtonVA #BikeDC @WODTrail @NOVA_Parks https://t.co/cGUxrMLpgw— BikeArlington (@BikeArlington) September 10, 2018
