Add these spots to your summer bucket list immediately. ๐
I'm always on the hunt for places worth carving time out for, and these are a few that I can't stop coming back to.
Your ride starts here. Green Lizard Cycling.
Local gear, expert advice, and a crew that actually loves cycling. Green Lizard isn't just a bike shop โ it's where Herndon's cycling community lives. ๐ฆ๐ด
Herndon Bodega & Bakery - Stop what you're doing and get the tres leches. Fresh-made, no shortcuts, absolutely worth it. The Herndon Bodega is a hidden gem that locals know โ and once you've been, you'll get why. ๐ฐโจ
Aslin Coffee/Beer Company - Morning coffee or evening beer โ Aslin has both covered and then some. Great food, great vibes, and the kind of spot where you always end up staying longer than you planned. โ๐บ
Ride the 45 miles of paved trail right in your backyard. Run it, ride it, walk it โ the W&OD is one of Northern Virginia's best-kept secrets hiding in plain sight. This is why people move here and never leave. ๐ฟ๐ต
