One of my favorite things to do on a nice summer morning (when I didn’t spend the night before being irresponsible and intoxicated) is grab a couple of friends and bike to Georgetown. The best way to do that is to take the Capital Crescent Trail, which is a biking/jogging/walking/rollerblading/whatever-ing trail that runs from Silver Spring, MD all the way to Georgetown. Finally, a perk from living in the suburbs.

The trail is awesome: very well kept and scenic and can be accessed just about anywhere in the Maryland and DC area. My favorite spots along the Capital Crescent are Fletcher’s Boat House to go paddle boating, Georgetown Waterfront Park and brunch at Johnny Rocket’s. Last summer, I saw an American Idol contestant, but she was a terrible singer so I tried to cover up my gasp when she walked past. Just trying to show you the cool things about biking to Georgetown.

But seeing as it’s an 11-mile stretch, Georgetown isn’t the only place worth seeing; especially if you live in Georgetown. So why not go the other way and stop by Bethesda, whose downtown area and public pool are great or Silver Spring’s downtown area?
