Ride is a loop
TV Hwy sucks to ride on even though it has a “bike lane” and is home to many businesses and housing areas where you might want to travel. This ride is a loop that will focus on 2 routes which parallel TV Hwy from Hillsboro to Beaverton but traverse lighter traveled streets and even take advantage of some much better separated bike infrastructure. Warning: though these routes are better than riding the side of TV Hwy that is a very low bar. This ride will include multiple occasions where we will have to take the lane and/or ride on the sidewalk, cross side streets without signals, and we will cross TV Hwy twice (both at traffic lights but still) as such this is not a kid friendly ride. I don't want to scare everyone off, but I do want to make sure you know what you are signing up for. Meet in the parking lot of Tualatin Hills Nature Park in Beaverton, this ride is a loop. Both the Beaverton Creek and Merlo Rd Max blue line stops are nearby for easy access from further away. Rough estimates put this ride at approx. 16mi, though if you get tired and need to drop we won't ever be far from bus line 57.
