If d.r. is on the Beltway you might not need the clutch too much unless people get antsy, then you can get the rippling stop-and-go's. On the 66 things move pretty smoothly west of Tyson's Corner, but as you get closer it's more likely to start packing up.

I missed my ride from school to rowing practice once, school was close to Seven Corners and practice was on the Potomac at Thompson Boat Center. Ride left five minutes ahead of me, I got there five minutes before them...on my bike.

Traffic in DC can be a bear, but if you have an alternative you can sometimes beat it!
