Bicycling in Northern Virginia on the
Washington and Old Dominion Regional Park,
"The W & OD Trail"

This is a 45-mile asphalt trail with endpoints at Arlington and Purcellville. Our favorite starting point is Leesburg. Leesburg to Purcellville goes through beautiful farm land and horse farms with mountain views in the distance.

Leesburg toward Arlington allows you to stop at the beautiful Reston shopping area that features an outstanding outdoor fountain, sidewalk cafes and up scale shopping. Although there are hills, they are not tough enough that kids can't enjoy this trail too. In fact, we rode the 32-mile round trip from Leesburg to Reston with 7 and 9 year-olds.
