Washington DC Area Biz

A defining characteristic of any outdoor town (yes that's right, Washington D.C. is an outdoor town with a political problem) is a healthy network of businesses that support the habit. Want to train for the Army Ten Miler? Pacers can get you started. Ever been to Purcellville, Virginia (a.k.a. mile 45 of the Washington & Old Dominion Trail)? No? Well, Big Wheel Bikes might be able to change that. Has the Great Falls view (from land) lost its luster? Potomac Paddle Sports can help provide a dramtically different perspective. Is a weekend outing in Shenandoah looming on the horizon? REI, with four D.C. area locations, will make sure that you don't forget the bug spray. 

The product is only a part of the allure of an outdoor shop. A good shop recognizes its precarious position with its reliance on public land policy and environmental initiatives. Many D.C. area outdoor businesses have decided not to stand idly on the sideline, but rather to offer their time and resources to the causes that we, as outdoor enthusiasts, also embrace.
