Option 2: Ride from or into arlington and ride south on the mt vernon trail, its scenic and along the river. Its paved but the pavement is narrow and frost/root heaved in a lot of spots.

Option 3: Ride north through rock creek park (beach drive) and there are options heading north/west or riding out of the park valley and coming back on loops from there.

Option 4: Ride out the C&O and either come back the way you came or make a loop through potomac md and back on macarthur blvd.

I'd recommend a gravel bike more for the **** pavement than the C&O.

I can pull ride with gps links for any of these if you need.
Thanks. This is great. We still don't have firm plans but I may hit you up for some routes if this comes together.
