They have excellent pizzas, wines, etc in the backdrop of beautiful hills. Parking for this Meetup is at the small Aldie dam off Route 50. There are no toilets at Aldie Dam. We will bike through the center of Middleburg, where we may find restrooms. The vineyard where we meet after the ride has excellent facilities.
