Paris to Waterloo on the Splendid 688 (AKA Leeds Manor Road)! - By Guest

Based on the recommendation of this site I took a ride on this road yesterday. Very nice indeed. It's a great place for a beginner to go hone skills without having to worry about traffic around every bend. I came out rt. 7 from Sterling and took the 601 south, which is another fine road up through the mountain. From Warrenton to my house was 75 miles one way, so it was a good afternoon ride. Highly recommended for Northern VA riders.
