Talk to me about cycling in DC

I shall try both groups. I suspect I will see hills on a consistent basis now, no? :-) That will be a change going from this area!

Well, there are more ups and downs here, but most of the hills in the areas where I ride are short, so the suffering is not prolonged. You can find some longer more challenging climbs in if you head out some parts of Maryland or western Virginia. The eastern shore of Maryland is totally flat. I actually prefer some hills on my rides because they add variety.

Where will your job be located?

Just come north and ride in Montgomery County or Howard County and you can have all the hills you want.

My job will be near 17th St and K St NW (Farragut metro stations).

I will!

My dentist is near there. He started cycling to work earlier this year from somewhere in Montgomery County (not sure exactly where) and he loves it. (Also he's a very good dentist, if you'd like his contact info.)

That area is very easily accessible by public transportation, which gives you more options for choosing a place to live.

BTW I don't think we've mentioned WABA yet -- it's the area's bike advocacy group. www.waba.org. Lots of resources there.

Oh, yes! PM? I am ready to fly back to the Chicago area for my dentist, so a good recommendation is most appreciated (and any other recommendation).
