Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions
It's a stretch (about 23 miles each way), so I usually do it only about twice a week. However, it's a really pretty ride; even when the weather's against me, I still have an enjoyable commute. Which is more than I can say about your wife's daily trek. Ugh. Can't imagine driving from Tysons to Silver Spring twice a day.

Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions
Kevin, that is a hike. My wife works for Deloitte in Tysons and gets to battle traffic on 495 from Silver Spring. My commute is not as long however I do ride along a section of stream that is stocked with Rainbow and Brown Trout by Maryland Game and Inland Fisheries, which adds a little bonus. Although you get some funny looks from people when you are out there casting a fly rod. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions
Very cool Kevin, that's a healthy distance and definitely the most enjoyable way to get from Mt Vernon to Tysons I've heard of! :) I hadn't connected the fact that the W&OD runs so close to Tysons and connects w/ Gallows before. I live near the MVT/4Mile Run intersection and take the MVT north into DC for my commute. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: East Coast Storm - Maryland Trail Conditions
Tony - I may have the only truly enjoyable commute in all of northern Virginia: I pick up the Mount Vernon trail about a mile from my house and take that to the Four Mile Run trail (which intersects the MVT just before National Airport), then ride that to the beginning of the W&OD, take the W&OD to Gallows Road, then ride Gallows into Tysons. Hope this helps.
