I have made it from Mechanicsville to Sterling in 1 1/2hours. I have to plan it with the DC traffic and use my trusted backroads. But it can be done.

Had to check on Mechanicsville ~ right time of day if you avoid the trucks on I81, then get off on some of those extrawide primaries the Byrd Machine put in all over the state (except in Northern Virginia) you can get to a lot of places fast.

For "outsiders" you may be unaware of the Fall Line in Virginia. This is an upheaval area created by a meteor millions of years ago ~ and it left rows of concentric ridges all through the Mid-Atlantic. You get beyond the meteor upheaval areas it's pretty flat all the way to the Piedmont, so there are some segments of Virginia that have flat, straight roads just like the Midwest.

This area ain't one of them!
