Reason Why I Love DC #1: Biking!

Posted by Tim Foley on April 30th, 2009

A few weeks ago a friend and I biked to the Great Falls in Maryland. THEY WERE SO COOL!
Who knew that you can bike for a couple hours and there you are looking at some serious waterfalls? This is the sort of thing you can’t get in NYC.
The book I used, Road Biking Washington DC, is of course a road biking book, so the route there was all along roads. Once we got there, however, we realized we could just take the C&O Canal all the way back to DC. That was some of the most beautiful trail I’ve seen.

Here’s a picture next to an old pumping station or something along the canal.
