Girls - Count me in. If we meet super early or later in the day, the trails shouldn't be TOO crowded.
Tulip, the Mt. Vernon Trail connects with the Custis up by Chain Bridge (Key Bridge Marriot). There's a stretch between Old Town that goes past Nat'l Airport---not sure if that's the Mt. Vernon Trail or something else. Anyway, it hooks up with the Custis, which will lead to the W&OD and we could head west. There are some dicey road crossings, but if we ride in a group, we should be OK.
I live about 1/2 mile from the Custis (my house is a mile north of Ballston Metro Station).
I wonder if we could ride at the Arboretum in DC? I'm not sure how busy the roads get there (I've been there only in the winter), but it's nice, quiet, and there's at least one good hill.
We can take it at a leisurely pace. Maybe stop somewhere for some eats?
I'll check w/the fellas at work to see if there are any less-busy places we can ride.
