Hey guys...I'm new to the area...living in the Capitol Hill area. I've bee here for a year, but have been without a vehicle, so I feel like I don't know the area well at all.

I finally got my bike down here labor day weekend. I took a nice short ride down to Mount Vernon on the GW Parkway. It's a nice quick ride and I love Mount Vernon.

I'm looking for some more good riding routes around here. Can you help me out? Where's the good riding at?

A nice day trip might be to go out Rt. 66 to Front Royal and take a cruise down Skyline Drive. Work your way back to Washington on the country roads.

Go out towards the plains off of route 29 west.

Some of my most memorable rides were in the mountains west of D.C. in the fall. There's fall festivals everywhere. Anywhere west through North of Harper's Ferry. The Chambersburg and Lancaster areas of Pennsylvania were great. If you can find it, overnight in the Red Caboose Motel.

Like rbednar said, Skyline Drive. I enjoyed riding Skyline Drive in the winter after the roads are clear following a big snow. Make sure it's above freezing up on the mountains so that you won't be hitting any ice.

There's alway the Gettysburg and Sharpsburg Battle Field Parks.

I never ran short of places to ride there. My problem was getting back to work on Monday.
