The Custis Trail is a place for road and mountain bikers to ride their bike from and two DC. This trail is for the most part easy there is one big hill that you will need to go up. if you are taking the tail from DC to the WOD trail then beware that you are going to be going uphill the whole time. But if you are going from WOD to DC you will be going down hill most of the time.
