G'town Pike, as you mention, is good between Old Dominion and the Beltway, but with all the bad weather, it has gotten rough and quite a few pot holes.

Lewinsville... meh, I suppose. Only like 2-3 turns on it in the spot you're thinking, though. Most of the roads in Great Falls are a lot better (i.e., the north-south roads between Rte 7 and G'town Pike, like Springvale, Leigh Mill, Towlston, Bellview). Also, a bunch of roads on the other side of Rte 7 in Vienna are good (Vale, Stuart Mill, Hunter Mill).

The problem with those roads is that they're neighborhoods, where you could kill a pedestrian, and they're in NoVA, where you'll get a hefty ticket for speeding. Another decent option is heading out west on 66 toward the Plains and driving some of those roads. 66W to Leeds Manor road N to Blueridge Mountain Road N -- I did that drive a month or so ago, and it was excellent.
