I think you'll see most everyone in the evening rather than the day

Darryl, what time did you get to work, I think I might have seen you on the toll road?

I'm usually rolling down the toll road between 7:50 and 8, westbound.

Didn't see any other Yarii on the way, were you stuck in that mess going east?

MM.

Great place for an accident, morning or afternoon.

There's a pretty handy back road you can take to get towards Tyson's, if traffic gets bad. It's got plenty of nice curves and hills until you get closer to Tyson's on Old Courthouse. Here's a map.

Hah, yeah, some of those are a bit crazy, blind crest and all.

Georgetown Pike is pretty fun, too.

What this area lacks though are the "Unmarked Rural Routes" where you can go tearing around at 55mph.

If I have to go tomy officein Laurel I usually take Georgretown Pike. That road and Old Dominion have some of the best twists and turns around here. If you head down 66 a bit and get into Manassas a bit, you'll find plenty of roads with twists and turns. It's getting time for me to head on out to Skyline Drive and see what she can do up there. The weather is getting nice and the views are awesome

Haven't driven around Manassas much, further south, in York County, there are some nice roads around the battlegrounds.

Yeah, I'd like to do Skyline Drive sometime. Make sure your breaks are in good working order beforehand...

yep, funny you should say that cause mine just started squeeking yesterday. I figure it's about time to change them since they have 22,000 well used miles on them since April. Speaking of battlegrounds, Gettysburg has quit a few nice roads to drive.
