I've ridden on Central Ave, Rt 2, and West St, but not on the part inside the Beltway.<BR/><BR/>Since it's Sunday, I would consider taking the bike onto the Metro and getting off at New Carrolton Station. Then you could ride out Rt 450, which is a little nicer than Central Ave.<BR/><BR/>There is also a good route that starts at New Carrolton and eventually follows Governor Bridge Rd (it's very pretty on GBR). I'll dig out my atlas and try to remember the whole thing.Velo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1176157023504785362007-04-09T18:17:00.000-04:002007-04-09T18:17:00.000-04:00fastfifty,I was thinking of riding out, so I start...fastfifty,<BR/>I was thinking of riding out, so I started to plot a route with Bikely. I haven't ridden it yet, and I really just followed the roads recommended by the area bike maps you can get from WABA. The link is:<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2vx2po<BR/><BR/>It doesn't have any cues, but eventually I will add some after I've ridden it a few times. <BR/><BR/>Chris, if you have any thoughts about the route, I'd appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1176153775652939222007-04-09T17:22:00.000-04:002007-04-09T17:22:00.000-04:00Gorgeous shop.
