Ride is a loop
Think all the good riding is in Portland? That Beaverton is all cars and roads? Did you know that the Tualatin Hills Parks Rec District has 60 miles of hard and soft-paved trails? Have you been to the Linear Park and Pirate Park? Join us on a ride to explore this western wonderland. Around 35 miles. The early parts are flat, but there will be plenty of hills - around 2000 ft. of climbing. About half is on paved bike trails, half on roads. There will be a short section of riding on an unpaved trail. Nobody left behind - we'll go at a moderate pace and it may take us around 6 hours. Some of the stops include: Pirate Park, Jenkins Estate, Cooper Mountain Nature Park (for the view), Progress Ridge (dining stop including New Seasons), Summerlake Park, and Tualatin Hills Nature Park. You'll probably want to eat beforehand - or else bring a sandwich and eat it at our first stop, Pirate Park. Bring plenty of water and snacks. There are a number of restroom stops along the way. There's also a convenience store about halfway through the ride.
