Thanks for the responses -- just as an update, I had no luck whatsoever finding a road bike to rent, seems the shops up there only rent casual hybrids or mtbs.
But, I have to put in a plug for Mike at Pedal Shop in Ashburn -- he's been incredibly helpful. First, he tried to find a road bike for me to rent, even asking folks on his racing team (no dice, I need a 48-49 cm frame, none available), so now it looks like I'll just bring my mtb shoes and rent a nice mountain bike to hit some nearby off-road trails.
Always nice to find a good LBS, even when out-of-town...
