This afternoon, as I was heading back to Nashville from Arrington, Virginia, I felt it was TYME2GETOFFROAD and I discovered an intriguing trail. It turned out to be an awesome day for a peaceful ride.

This is a great little easy trail with a few narrow parts and hairpin curves. We saw a deer and absolutely beautiful scenery.
