Question for DC area riders...

My wife and I will be in the DC area (Alexandria, VA) for a week beginning April 7th. Wondering if we should pack kites and buggies or just do the usual tourist thing.

Where do you ride in this part of the country- and it it open this time of year?

Thanks!

Hey Mike, hit Ragden up with a u2u, if the winds are good, chances are he may be able to meet up with you. He will at least let you know where the good spots are and if they are accessible. Great guy, you can also try lad , he also frequents some of the local hot spots down there

I've only been to the Antennae Fields once in Rockville (or Bethesda?). Some VA guys, including Ragden, comes up to the Bow in Baltimore - which isn't so big or ideals conditions all the time. Another, newer member on PKF recently mentioned another public park in VA.
