| Surprisingly low traffic considering the area. River Road has a "bike lane" most of the way out to the intersection with MD 112, though it is really just a wider-than-usual shoulder. Still, it is officially marked as a bike lane so there you go.
Expect some rolling up-and-down. Nothing brutally steep or terribly long but it's best to be in moderately good shape.
Lunch at Bassett's Family restaurant in Poolesville is a good idea. They are cyclist-friendly and on a nice day the outdoor seating on the front porch is nice. |

| From Potomac to Bethesda via Beach Drive, Tuckerman Ln, and MacArthur Blvd.
Although some sections are on smaller roads this route cannot avoid all traffic. Larger roads do have wide shoulders and / or marked bike lanes. |

| Ride to avoid River Road. Not flat but (hopefully) not brutally hilly, either.
This route tries to avoid busier roads and also River Road which has lots of hills. However, the alternatives must also pass over much of the same terrain... |
