I'm loving the idea of a Riv Ride East somewhere here in the DMV, it sounds like an absolute treat. We would have a lot of options in regards to routes around here. On Tuesday, November 21, 2023 at 11:35:02 AM UTC-5 dpe...@gmail.com wrote: > Id be interested too. From western NC > > On

Looks fab, Nick. I've ridden just a little bit of the W out of Arlington to Mt. Vernon. I'm down the highway a piece in Fredericksburg. On Sunday, November 19, 2023 at 7:40:52 AM UTC-5 Garth wrote: > > Nice day for a long bike ride Nick ! The fall lighting makes for lovely > photos indeed.

Thanks again to you all for your kind responses! Bill -- that snapper's claw wasthe size of a kid's hand. It was probably about 20-22" long, and clearly the resident royalty for that section of the canal. Brians -- link to the route below. We took the W and cut north from Leesburg on back

Yes, Nick… I would also be very interested in seeing your route. I’ve done the C several times, but had no idea there was a parallel rail trail across the Potomac starting at Point of Rocks, I assume? That seems like it would make a nice overnighter without having to retrace your route or get a

Nick- What a classic NOVA ride! I grew up in Leesburg and have ridden countless miles on the W ranging from skating to school on it when I was a freshman at Loudoun County High School, up until a few years ago when my folks still lived in the area. I'd be interested in seeing your route and

Grew up in Reston during the '70s and '80s, my 7th/8th grade riding buddy, relentlessly toured the W on our mid-80s racing bikes. A fond memory was the trailside sign at Ashburn Station that stated the town population of 2500! Might have to add a few zeros to that number now. Scott On Friday,
