I did it a couple of times but it was a long time ago. I was actually talking to someone about it today. I'm usually out of town for vacation around that time but this year I might be able to do it. Though they haven't announced a date yet for the Patuxent River Rural Legacy Ride, and if that is also June 1 I would choose that ride.
I would expect a fair amount of it to be on the WOD trail, particularly on the return to Reston. But longer distances should also see a fair amount of road riding. I know the Reston Century has some very hilly portions on the full century; I don't know if the TdC uses the same roads.
BTW I notice the Seagull Century is October 5 and registration opens online on Wednesday, May 15th at Noon.
Update: here's more on the Tour de Cure from Reston. It's actually on June 2. They have links to the different routes on Ride With GPS. It looks like the 82 and 108 mile routes have the most off-trail riding. The rest are largely on the trail.
