My work to home commute is all on the Curtis Trail/W&OD. Home to work in the early A.M. I get off at Ballston and ride down Fairfax and Wilson. You can turn left on Lynn St in Rosslyn and pick up the trail again at Lee Highway. It does cut off a bit of distance and lets you skip the switchback and few uphill climbs on the Curtis trail. I've been going that way for a few months and it works great. Something to think about.
