Moving up to Northern Virginia in the next month and want to start finding places to ride. I am originally from there but wasn't a cyclist and so far have just ridden fairfax county parkway + ox road on the bike trail when I have been up but am now looking for new options. So far here are what I have found as decent riding places from searching here and other forums
Skyline drive: hilly weekend long ride. 1 hour away.
Parkway + ox road + roads out by Clifton/fountainhead: regular weekday ride while I am in this area of Nova
W&OD: regular weekday ride when I eventually move close to Reston. (Moving back with my folks while I start working to save up and let COVID stuff settle a down)
Prince William Forrest Park: seems to be a good 7 mile loop that would make for good outside workouts
Are there other good roads that would be good to go out too? I have heard of places in Marlyand that can give me flat long rides but not sure where is best at the moment for that sort of thing
I am also only training on a tri bike if that affects what is/isn't feasible
