Steve,

	Your way is actually the best way.  You see, if you take River Road,
you'll end up on Clara Barton parkway which has three lights; the third
being the Whitehurst freeway entrance.  I have taken nearly two hours just 
to get through this portion, where the canal is up next to the road.  It 
can get *real* bad just past the chain bridge, where McLean residents zoom
down from.  And then, its Georgetown and "M" street just past the WH freeway
entrance.  That can be another hour.

	Alternatively, if you ride down GW Parkway there isn't a light at 
all!  Zip, straight to the airport.

	Now that I've told you this, tell me why you don't like the GW 
Parkway? 

Regards,
