55-340-9 loop is a great stretch of road, scenic and smooth. A great way to avoid the stress of DC and see the mountains!

Too the loop today. I wouldn't recommend taking 267 as it's a toll and you'll end up paying over $7 for nothing. I advise to either look for an alternative route to to bypass it all together and take Rt-7. The ride is nice and you go through some scenic towns like Middleberg and smaller enclaves. There are actually a bunch of nice easy-going roads once you reach the WV border. Just have a GPS with you if you decide to go off-grid so to speak. I enjoyed it but to reiterate, you will be going 35-40mph other than when on the interstates. Rt50 is a blast for a while, too. 3/5 for me, but solid. I'd ride it again

I had to modify the route due to my starting point in Haymarket. First half of the ride was great. Tree lined roads, nice sweepers. I'm not looking to scrape the running boards. However, once I got to Rt 7 it became a 4 lane highway that wasn't as enjoyable. I then wanted to got to Rt 15 but missed the turn. Ended up taking Battlefield Parkway east to Evergreen Mills Rd south (which was nice)to Rt 50 W for a couple blocks to Gum Spring Rd S to Sudley and then home in Gainesville. A nice stop on the way was The Apple House Rest on John Marshall Highway in Linden. Very good pulled Pork sandwich and breakfast all day long. Worth the stop. Pictures to follow Approximately 134 miles

This a great road trip close to DC. Many variations are possible. I took 606 off of 50 along the Shenandoa river. Loose gravel but worth it. Great rid thanks. motorman
