Reston VA 2 mile open water swim

Northern VA ENers,

I'm considering signing up for a two mile open water swim event in Reston VA.  May 29th.

In a perfect world, I am thinking about making this a larger training day that would include this swim followed by a long bike ride.  Problem is that I'm not very familiar with the surrounding area in terms bike riding.

 Has anyone else done this race before???

Anyone familiar with a good bike route close by??

Anyone interested in making this a EN meet up for some good training?

  • Nate,
    I did it last year. It is a good training day, and many peeps ride from the swim, usually west on the W&OD bike trail to Leesburg and then into northwestern Loudoun. A really good ride. I'm roadie boy this year so won't be doing it, but I will look up the tri cronies and see who is doing what and will forward to you any info I gather.

  • Nate,

    There are 6 of us doing IMLP this year and pretty sure we are planning on making that day a long training day. You would be more than welcome to come along with us. Will discuss with my buds and get a plan then let you know. Will be doing pretty much what Chris mentioned. Bike trail is about a mile from swim.
  • Thanks Bill...I'm in for sure...
  • I was considering doing it. I'll probably see you there and may be interested i the ride as well.
