While there's still a good amount of farmland around here, you'll have to get a bit further out from the beltway than you did in the 70s.
Even the difference between when I moved here in the 90s to today is pretty impressive—270 north of Rockville used to be almost all farmland... now it's north of Clarksburg.
As a result, road riding here is pretty much a no-go for me.
