Ride to Richmond

[MrDan]

So I have an odd request.  I'm riding down to Richmond for a Halloween party next Saturday.  Anyone want to punch in Fairfax, VA to Richmond, VA in to Streets & Trips or whatever other software and get me a nice route?

I'd like to avoid highways and thought someone here might have a better idea than me just picking the twisty roads off a map.

Thanks

Thanks JetSwing.  That will give me some roads to work with.

i looked at those... by the way thanks jetswing for doing the dirty work for me...

Personally, i think option 2 is probably best and most practical for me on this trip.  I know those roads pretty well and although they're not that twisty, it's all rural and rolling hills, so it's a nice ride.

Is the Skyline  a new edit?  How could I have missed that earlier? haha.  I may just have to go that route     Make a day of it

remember that the time posted is most likely an over estimate.
