I used the GoPro HERO 9 Black's TimeWarp 3.0 feature to capture a recent bike ride along the Rock Creek Trail in Washington DC.
This video is a section of a longer ride I did. I started my ride in Alexandria, VA and biked to the Rock Creek Park Boundary Bridge parking lot that is right across the DC-Maryland border - I turned around here, started my video, and headed back to DC. The section that I did in the video is about 10 miles long and went from the Boundary Bridge Parking lot all the way to the Lincoln Memorial.
This ride was a combination of road biking and dedicated trail biking (the Rock Creek Trail). I did this ride on a Saturday and the nice thing is that large stretches of Beach Drive are closed off to vehicle traffic on weekends (only bikers, hikers, walkers, etc. are allowed). That said, there are a couple of small sections where vehicles are still allowed, but when I rode, the number of bikers/hikers/walkers/etc. far outnumbered any vehicles.
If you were to do this trail out & back it would come out to about 20 miles total.

That is great! You will love it - there are dedicated trails in Rock Creek that run up to the zoo and beyond you can access any day of the week, but I definitely recommend going on Saturday or Sunday too because they close down sections of Beach Drive to cars so you can bike uninterrupted on the road without cars too!

One could ride (paved portion) Rock Creek to/from Lake Needwood. To do it only one direction, one can metro train from anywhere DC metro area, red line to Shady Grove. From there, roll out the parking garage side to Redland Road. Left on roadside trail, go past Crabbs Branch intersection, next light right turn is Needwood Road. Paved trail there to Lake Needwood entrance. Right side of the lake is dirt trail, left side is park roads. Far end of the lake starts Rock Creek trail.
