Twisties in the DC area
Hey fellow DMVers. As the weather gets nicer, I would like to hear some good twisty roads in the DC area where you all get to enjoy your M2s. I'm in the MD burbs, so these days when the weather is nice, I'll head to River Road towards Poolesville and wine/farm country out that way. Anyone know any roads that are great for driving in the DMV?
Luckily weekends have been good for driving the M2 (as is this coming weekend), so looking for more tips. Thanks! |

A great drive on the Maryland side would be along I-68 past Hagerstown. Its a great stretch of highway with 70mph Speed Limit. Mostly traffic free, with sweeping roads and lots of steep climbs and down hills. You can be shifting gears every minute. Unfortunately I only go that far when on a family trip to Deep Creek Lake or Nemacolin, and am "forced" to go in the family SUV

Don't forget Route 211!
If you're willing to go a little farther there is some stuff like back of the dragon and even further south a road trip to the tail of the dragon. |

Anyone here the LBB M2 I passed on Lime Kiln Rd on Saturday afternoon? I did a lap there on my way home from the CCA autox at Summit Point. Also saw another (or possibly the same) LBB on my way up to pick up some beer from Wheatland Spring.
To contribute otherwise to the theme of the thread, I've found some nice roads up around Thurmont, MD. Rt 77, Rt. 17 (Wolfsville Rd), Highland School Rd. and parts of Gambril Park Rd. The north part of Gambril Park Rd. where it turns into Tower Rd. and then Mink Farm Rd. gets pretty narrow and then turns to gravel for a bit, so I avoid that, but otherwise you can make a nice loop out of some combo of those and others. Another warning is that Rt. 77 especially is a main route into Catoctin Mountain State Park, so it can get pretty busy on nice weekends. |

FYI I did route #1 a couple weekends ago when it wasn't freezing and it was fun. Highly recommend. Everyone says Hampton Rd is good... need to give that a try.

any new routes? would love to find something mapped out on maryland eastern shore...
here's a loop through anne arundel country starting / returning from the annapolis mall: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Mary...38.9839479!3e0 there are some residential sections along the route that require some caution, but plenty of open view twisties for spirited driving as well. it's best done early mornings to avoid traffic. weekends may have some cyclists along the route. have fun but obviously exercise some caution. fun fact: this route passes by the world famous "pastranaland" which is in a residential section of governor bridge rd. hidden behind an 8-ft tall driveway gate.
