So, since we’ve had two little kids, he doesn’t get out to ride as much as he would like anymore. I think more than 50 miles in a day might be too much at this point. Generally, something scenic would be nice. Both he and his friend have road bikes, though we have a good hybrid as well. As an aside, to make it a more interesting trip and not something he has done a lot (from inside the beltway to Fairfax is a route he knows well), I have heard that Cumberland is beautiful but know little about the trails. I would be totally open to having them rent the type of bikes they need, but I also would like it be the type of ride where he and his friend could talk along the way – part of the purpose of the gift is just to get away with a friend. I know there are outfitters who could drive them to a dropoff point or pick them up, and I’m totally open to that too. Any suggestions for a good place for friends to ride, stay and dine a bit farther out (of course, in more temperate weather)? Maybe that’s the way to go…
Thanks!
