That said, take your car to JMU. Go on Cruises. My life got 100% better when I bought my first Miata and did route 33 runs with the club.

yeah, this.

if you want to push the car at all that's what auto-x and hpde is for.

nice scenic roads can be found west of Fairfax County and on the Potomac side of Maryland, too. take the 4-6 hours and explore roads in other parts of VA and MD. north of Leesburg are some nice roads, too.

i'm mostly listing areas that i enjoy on the bicycle and have enjoyed on the motorcycle. Watch out for cyclists and deer please (especially cyclists - it could be me...)

Noted. I have never been on track so I guess I'm letting loose on public roads where I know I should be slower. Deer around here are a real problem, saw two just last night that I might have hit if I were sending it (I take it easy after dark cuz my eyes suck with glare / night time headlights, plus it was a new route). Cyclists are definitely something to watch out for... I'm always super cautious around you guys. I know what it's like to be close to cars, not the most reassuring feeling in the world.

This weekend I will definitely check that out. Won't go bizerk on them first time through, just want to explore the area.

Enough said, I'm gonna get a route together around NoVa to wrap these roads together. I would take scenery over speed any day.

going up over the mountains - most of the roads up/over skyline or BRP are generally pretty good, 2 lane on the way up and a blast at speed limit or +5 or so without being full ding dong.

I'd love to get out there for the scenery. Rather take it slow to enjoy it than going 'full ding dong' Smile.

RJ, Ginger, and I found this road on accident like 15 years ago. Doing 30 mph is somehow still exhilarating. Highly recommended.

Definitely checking this one out as well. Looks sick.
