SUMMARY:Ride Westside - Pittock Mansion / Council Crest Double Feature
CONTACT:Ride Westside
DESCRIPTION:It's summer and the weather is gorgeous right now - in other 
 words\, the perfect time of year to crush some hills! Join Ride Westside 
 as we lead a ride from Beaverton Central to tackle two of the highest 
 points in the PDX metro - the summits of Pittock Mansion and Council 
 Crest! We'll grab a breather at the top of both locations\, fill up our 
 water bottles\, grab some pictures\, and then loop back to Beaverton 
 Central\, finishing up at BG's for a well-deserved lunch and 
 beverage.\n\nThis ride will be significantly more challenging than most of
  Ride Westside's group rides. The proposed route will take us over 20 
 miles and 2\,000 feet of total elevation gain. Climbs will vary anywhere 
 from 3-7% on average\, with some short segments (~200 feet) around 10%. 
 The descent from Pittock Mansion is also quite steep with switchbacks and 
 gradients of -10% in some places. There will also be short segments that 
 will require taking the lane on windy ascending roads where cars may not 
 easily be able to pass the group.\n\nPlease note that this is *not* 
 strictly a no-drop ride. We will do our best to adjust the pace as 
 required to accommodate the group\, but the goal will be to finish the 
 route in 2.5 to 3 hours - arrive at BGs by 12 pm at latest. We will need 
 to keep an overall 10 mph average pace (slower when climbing and faster 
 when descending) while also factoring in breaks at the summits. Please 
 consider your own abilities\, limitations\, and comfort level with 
 sustained climbs before the ride and have a backup plan to get back home 
 in case you need to turn around.\n\nWe also want to emphasize that your 
 bike should be in good working order for this ride. The descent from 
 Pittock Mansion in particular is pretty steep\, so make sure your brakes 
 are in good shape. E-bike riders are certainly welcome\, but please factor
  in the risk of your motor overheating over the sustained climbs - know 
 what your bike is capable of and have a backup plan in the event of a 
 motor overheat before you join this ride.\n\nBring plenty of snacks\, 
 water\, and sunscreen!\n\nLastly\, please note that this ride is subject 
 to rescheduling depending on the weather conditions. If we get rain and 
 the pavement is wet\, we'll have to reschedule to avoid the risk of wiping
  out on those steep descents from Pittock Mansion.\n\nHope to see you all 
 there! Look forward to the incredible views and a well-deserved sense of 
 accomplishment after we finish this ride.\n\nProposed route (subject to
