Lovettsville Loop

Today, I packed up my commuting bike and headed out to the back roads and hills of northern Loudoun County. While my commuting bike isn't generally my preference for long rides, it handles the dirt roads much better than my road bike. I rode a loop from Purcellville to Lovettsville and back. This was my first time to Lovettsville, which is a cute little town not far from the Potomac. The town appears to be in the process of significant growth, which is not surprising because the town is in commuting range of Frederick, the Dulles Corridor, and (via MARC) downtown DC.
