Virginia has its new state biking map out. Get one free or download a pdf of it here. We'll see if it's as good as Delaware's (which is really nice).
Addendum:Got mine today. It's nice. It has breakout maps of all the major trails. The map focusing on Northern Virginia covers a huge part, but has fewer trails than I'd expect. It also shows U.S. Bike Route 1, the portion on Ft. Belvoir that's closed and an alternate route on 611 Telegraph road. Unfortunately the alternate route is not labeled as 611 or Telegraph Road, I had to look that up elsewhere. But that's why they make second editions. Also Tim Kaine is photographed with a bike and helmet but clearly those are just props.
I, too, was delighted to see an all-Virginia bike map, but I had the same problem: Many of the routes are not labeled and so are difficult to find. Some are labeled Bike Highway 1, but if you missed the sign, you could never find it. The routes need the road names or numbers on them. (I have residences at opposite ends of the state in South Boston and Arlington, so I really appreciate having a bike map.)
