Ride Westside
Sun, Jul 2, 2023, 9:00 AM
Meet at 9 a.m., ride at 9:30 a.m.
Ride is a loop
The ride starts at the Banks trailhead of the Banks-Vernonia Trail, heads all the way to Vernonia (22miles) through what should be some spectacular Oregon scenery. Once in Vernonia, there will be a tour of the murals around the town with Sara Sjol from Portland Street Art Alliance. There will be time for a lunch break, as well. We will then ride back to the Banks trailhead. Meet at 9am, ride at 9:30. The ride takes about 2-2.5 hours each way (approx 5 hours and 44 miles total) and will be no-drop. We expect to spend 12pm-2pm in Vernonia, with a return ride starting at the Vernonia trailhead at 2:30pm and arriving back in Banks around 5pm. If you want to shorten the ride you can join us further down the trail as there are multiple entry points. We cannot however guarantee a time we will arrive at each point. Ride will be rain or shine, so bring weather-appropriate gear and hydration. (plus a picnic lunch, if you're not interested in any of the restaurants in Vernonia)
