Kate and I drove out to The Plains, which google maps tells me is about 48 miles from DC. From there, we did this bike route here which was really beautiful. A screen shot of the route is below:
The Plains is just off I66 and really in the country. The route took us to Middleburg, and then a bit north and west, and then we headed back south and into the village again, where we had lunch with this couple we met while riding.
The ride took about 3 1/2 hours, which wasn't bad at all given the terrain and the stops we took. I definitely need another water bottle and bracket - I ran out of water and that is not good. We had lunch at a nice little place in The Plains and also stopped by a farmers market out that way before getting on 66 and heading home.
