Potomac
Start at the Bolger Center (something of an odd place: mix various amounts of hotel, college dorm, and post office, then stir to taste). The first part of the ride takes you through what appears to be an expensive neighborhood of what I\'ll call interesting looking homes.\n\nCrossing Falls Road takes you into some pricier terrain with large and beautiful homes. Brickyard takes you back to reality, capping a section of moderate rolling hills.\n\nOn the map, MacArthur appears to risk being busy. At 8am on a Saturday, it wasn\'t particularly well traveled, but even if it had been, its wide shoulder/bike path provides more than enough room.\n\nAfter crossing a narrow bridge, the real up and down starts. More neighorhood riding, but with some steeps, including one segment that equaled anything I encountered on Mount Evans west of Denver.\n\nA short repeat stint on MacArthur precedes the home stretch on and off Persimmon, with some decent hills as well. - a 19.8 mi cycling route in Potomac, Maryland
