Meet at 9:00, roll by 9:30
End location: Helvetia Farm Market, 23137 NW West Union Rd, Hillsboro, OR 97124 (near Portland-bound MAX)
This is a fun one! Basically a modified and shortened version of OMTM's Beyond Pumpkin Ridge route. We will start from Beaverton, meeting at Oyatsupan Bakery to power our legs with some truly excellent Japanese bread and pastries. From there, we'll put our Panaracer tires to work (or really any other tire). Quickly zipping through a few Beaverton / Hillsboro neighborhoods before we cross West Union into the hills. Following along roads familiar to Seltzer stalwarts, we'll eventually reach the end of the pavement and the start of some delectable and fast rolling gravel. Hopping a fence or two to take in some doubletrack along the way, we'll eventually zoom down towards Pumpkin Ridge. When the pavement returns, we'll be close to our final destination of Helvetia Farm Market for a cold, local lemonade. Minimum of 35c tires recommended, but if you have wider ones you might want to consider them. Some of the gravel is a quite loose, and the more rubber you can get on the road, the better the experience. Note the start at 9:00AM (to beat the heat, at least a little)!
