Karen, when you find that site, let me know. It would be hysterical to catch people's reactions to something like that.

I used to ride the Mt Vernon trail mid-day during the week and found it a great ride, though I did stay away from the airport as much as possible. With the increase in people working flex-time, though, I've noticed that all of the places I've always gone for biking/hiking/etc during the week are now almost as crowded as on the weekend. While I know it's wrong to begrudge everyone else their enjoyment of these places, my inner curmudgeon gets a bit peeved over having to share. Which is why I love the C&O so much

Re the Arboretum: Despite having grown up around DC, I've never been there. Could be a beautiful spot for a ride, I'd think.
