For a very nice 16+ mile loop that begins anywhere you cross the Potomac River from D.C. (Key Bridge, Rooselvel Big, Memorial Bridge or the 14th Street Bridge), the Arlington Loop includes a great section of the Mount Vernon Trail, a very wooded section of the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Rail Trail, and a return section of the Martha Custis Trail that brings you back to the river to connect with where you started. The W&OD is a long rail trail that goes from Shirlington in Arlington out to Purcellville in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains. This is a 45 mile ride one way ride that goes from more or less suburban through, small towns and rural areas. Quite lovely.
