Downtown Silver Springs is a bit far from the less-traveled roads in Montgomery County. You'll probably spend a good 20-30 minutes one way before you get on country roads. River Road (MD-190), McArthur Blvd, and whatever else leads you to Poolesville, which by then gets you really close to Sugarloaf.
You'd want to stay West of I-270; too much development otherwise
Don't knock DC riding (specifically, Hain's) until you try it. I can't think of another place on the East Coast (other than Central Park) where one doesn't have to worry about cars and tourists
