Are there any gd backroads in NoVA? - Beej - 09-06-2005
Been in a real driving mood lately, but I'm still relatively new to the area and I don't know of anything around here.
Anything that resembles rt. 33 out into W.Va would be incredible, but nothing that's too far of a hike.
I'm in Arlington, FWIW.

nope, nothing.
some short stuff in great falls and the burke area, but nothing that can compare. s2ki MA chapter went on a drive a little bit out 66 (haymarket) and said it was a great road, but heavily policed.

I head out to great falls on sunday mornings sometime with the miata.... you can spend an hour just driving around - nothing terribly exciting but on sun mornings they're empty and its a nice ride.

I know some unbelievable roads, but you have to travel west on Rt. 50 out towards Middleburg / Great Plains. Billionaire country + well manicured roads = teh win.

Middleburg was quite boring when I went out there, relaxing though...
We should all just goto "The Dragon" at Deals Gap

Clifton has some nice roads in the middle of the day. Nothing you can get crazy on, but if you're in a cruising mood it's there are some good stretches.

went out riding near middleburg with my friend Jason and there are some NICE roads back there. More scenic than anything else, the best roads around here are out west and further south.
Pope's Head Road off the parkway was nice till they added rumble strips and cops.

yaya when i said burke i meant clifton. i suppose they touch so they share some roads.

Hampton Rd off of 123 is decent - thats the rode we drove on that one time Mike...

Sucks for you guys, I live on a good backroad

the only way i'd drive that road again is if i was within a couple miles of it. if you think that is decet you need to visit 33 west of h'burg.

I'll take anybody that wants out to Thorton's Gap sometime.
I was thinking about heading out there on Friday... but bring earplugs, my bike is LOUD.

33 and 60 into wVA are nice, so is 60 across the mountains in VA, but that's down here more. For cruising, Rt 1, north of ashland for about an hour to 45 minutes is nice.
once again, that's down here.

i used to live in centreville for the past 13 years of my life, but moved to catharpin recently, off of rt. 234. there are some great backroads with twisties, but roads are narrow. at least there arent ANY cops.

Birdfoot in reston's a fun short one. Other than that, 50W and just take side roads.

we need to do an MM marathon drive down the parkway to SoVa and back :lol:
