Driving Routes in NOVA

showmatic · 09-14-2023, 08:14 PM

I have an M4 Comp on order and will be picking it up in a about a couple months, so I'm trying to find some places in the NOVA area where you can hit some winding roads and/or straightaways to test the new car out. Of course, low traffic places are preferred. Any recommendations?

I am in not in your area, but there are couple of maps/apps that can help with this. Some are geared toward motorcycles and Porsche has an app as well for this specific purpose.

Best driving roads in the area linked below. Took my Mini on one these routes (Skyline Run X) last week and it was a blast.

234 north out of Bull Run and then 601 west through The Plains is a nice run. You can then take 55/John Marshall Highway back east to Chantilly.

626 north from The Plains up to Middleburg is nice too.

688 south from Markham to Lee Highway I think is good too but it's been a while.

River Road west from the Beltway to 112 North and then 28 west all the way to Point of Rocks is really good.

None of these get jammed up.

There's also lots of back roads between Harpers Ferry and Leesburg too.
