Default Idea's for a cruise, leaving from Chantilly

Hey guys im trying to set up a Cruise for my boss who is hosting an all NSX meet. Everyone will be meeting up in Chantilly but i need ideas a a good route to take for a cruise.

The only thing i have in mind is to cruise out to Middleburg but thats a straight shot down Rt50 and wont take much time, im looking to set something up thats a bit longer.

If you have any ideas please let me know.

Need some good roads with turn and some scenic areas.

If you take 66W past Warrenton it starts turning into a nice little drive. There are plenty of fun roads and spots to take pictures in that area as well.

I posted this already but,,,

Cruise through Clifton,
from the Fair oaks mall to Bradock road, to clifton road, henderson road all the way around to 123 and back up to 7100 and thenback to the fair oaks mall

Twisty roads, high negative camber hills, it's a blast.

if you need a longer drive Skyline Drive is a fantastic drive...
Also look at a cruise to Harpers Ferry, very nice..

theres one problem with your route, police. my friend lives in those roads and hes telling me that place is over-run'd by police nowadays, probably from alot of high school kids wrapping themselves around the trees on the negative camber hills. and last time we decided to drive through clifton i saw 2 speed traps within 4 miles of each other.

I did not know this, I drive through there every day and have not seen any.
but ok,,,

The route to Harpers Ferry is fun, we used to cruise that route on are bikes
stop and have lunch in HF and ride back, I should setup another cruise soon.

Use Google Map and make up your own, use the sat pictures to get a good view of the road..
