Thanks to all of you for good suggestions and bringing me to realty:—

I’m planning to drive-park-ride option with following route:

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=cedar+lane+and+Idylwood&daddr=1800+F+St+NW,+Washington,+District+of+Columbia&hl=en&sll=37.6,-95.665&sspn=38.864399,67.412109&geocode=FXCGUQIdootl-ylTYlF9BUu2iTF9rooY14mbrw%3BFbiGUQIdvG9o-ynvKwomu7e3iTECFo0Sf1dikw&oq=1800+F+&dirflg=b&mra=ls&t=m&z=12&lci=bike

1. Drive to Gallows Road – Park by Idylwood near to OD trail – about 30 min

2. Follow the above google path by riding on OD and Custis trail – hour and 20 min based on google

3. Ride back – an hour and 20 min

4. Drive back – 30 min

Total – about 4 hours in one day. I plan to ride once a week since I can’t efford to have 4 hours for two days for now.

I thank you for all your suggestions – I’m looking forward to be healthy as well as save on gas. Let me know if there are better routes than what google is showing me.

Regards,
SS

Yes, I’d say very unrealistic to try the whole thing at once. There’s a bus – Fairfax County Connector 650 series that runs down LJH to the Vienna Metro, and back. http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/routes/650.htm From there, there are quiet Vienna Streets to the W&OD trail. and you’re probably at least 11 or 12 miles from the office still. I usually like the Key Bridge coming off the Custis Trail as the most accesible, but the Roosevelt is also a good option. and that would be something that you could probably work up to 5 days a week within a month or two.

Realistically? I’d guess 45-60 minutes on the bike after the bus. or about 3-3.4 hours to bike the whole way.

Correct: I meant to say Lee Jackson Hwy.
