It does look like an interesting ride.
Since I am nearly totally ignorant about life on the other side of the Potomac, it would be a fun opportunity to explore Virginny. Something, however, in the back of my mind says that weekend in n.g. I'll keep it on the front burner still. I also forwarded it to a friend of mine in Woodbridge. She and her DH are both quite active cyclists with 2 young kids, so this might be right up their alley.
