LOOP de LOOPS.
This is the same route as my traditional MLK day ride, where the temperature is usually in the low-to-mid 50s. Then it snows the next day. The ride itself is close-in and takes us on several loops that use bike paths or quiet and wide neighborhood streets. The first loop is a wide circumvention of Burke Lake Park - but not the gravel trail - also using short, hilly roads inside Fairfax County Parkway and Ox Road. Another loop is past the old Lorton prison and into Occoquan Village - the hill out of the village is very LONG but gradual. Yet another loop is along Lake Mercer and points east; a short portion of this loop has been widened and repaved, but it is still a narrow bike path. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/241780
