Touring - From New Hamphire to DC area Part 1

I am doing the 24hours of great glen at Mt. Washington off of rt. 16 in New Hamphire. I was then going to ride my road bike back to DC area with a friend. I might not have the time to do the whole 700+ route so I might have the person I am riding with take me part way home, but here is the route I came up with so far(Very rough) using mappoint and artery roads and averaging 13-15mph. Any infomation on this route would be helpful. Thanks so much

The part of this route with which I am quite familiar, "Day 8", is just plain nuts. Riding from Frederick, MD, to Rockville, MD, along route 355 to Old Georgetown Rd, and eventually into DC, has got to be the most unpleasant AND dangerous way to get from Frederick to DC by bike. This route is utterly insane.

I can't speak for Rt 355 in Frederick, but as you get closer to DC, it becomes a major 4-lane, no shoulders, wall-to-wall traffic commuter artery.

Alternate from Frederick: Rt 15 to Point of Rocks MARYLAND side of Potomac River. Transition to C&O Canal Towpath. Take towpath to DC, or at White's Ferry, cross into Virginia and via Rt 15 and side streets connect to Washington & Old Dominion bike trail in Leesburg. (Rt 15 from Point of Rocks to the White's Ferry turnoff is unrideable - 2 lane fast traffic NO SHOULDERS). Caution - the C&O is packed gravel, dirt, and loose gravel in a few spots. Probably rideable on touring tires, NOT on skinnier pure road tires. Also, check various bike routes available at the bikewashington.org website and on the Potomac Pedelers Touring Club http://www.bikepptc.org/ site. Maybe there are sections of their rides that work for you.

Check other threads for routes between Baltimore and Washington DC if that is an option. Is there any info on the East Coast Greenway site http://www.greenway.org/ that might help? (unfortunately, it runs through southern New England, so you still have to get south somehow.)

I agree that the roads you've selected for the ride into DC are pretty hairy. Here's a route that sounds a little gentler:

If I were doing it, I'd look to go through Poolesville, take river road to Great Falls, take MacArthur Blvd to the Capital Crescent trail and thence to the Key Bridge. Poolesville is an extremely popular ride for DC cyclists and the western part of Montgomery county is very rural, very different from the Rockville area.

Thanks for the replies, I should of said this earlier, I just did the route(quick) and since I live in the DC area and ride with PPTC I would fix all the stuff close to DC, I am thinking that we would ride as much as we could and if it looks too long we would get picked up in Upstate New York or Penn by my Girlfriend. SO what I need the biggest help on is the first 6 days.
