Meet at noon, rolling at 1230
Ride is a loop
End location: Orenco MAX Station
I wanted to host a couple of fun rides that follow routes I personally use for training in suburbia, aka the Westside! I'm a new and pretty young ride leader, so please bear with me. We'll meet at Orenco MAX station at noon and roll at 1230. The route is around 16 miles long, and a loop. It's called Bronthany as I'm combing "Bronson Creek" and Bethany! The route will start from Orenco MAX station, to the Cherry Lane Trailhead, which puts us on the Rock Creek Trail (Hillsboro). We take that up to Rock Creek Boulevard, and then make our first stop at Bethany Elementary. Then we go through Oak Hills, until we get to Terra Linda. We'll make another stop at Terra Linda Elementary. We'll have to ride on the roadway of NW 143rd until the trailhead for the Upper Westside Trail. Then, we'll take that to our second to last stop of Wismer Elementary. After that, we just follow the Rock Creek Trail all the way back to Orenco, and make our last stop at Bethany Lake Park. This ride has a bit of hills, particularly between Oak Hills and the Upper Westside Trail. I would recommend you bring an E-Bike if you are unsure of your climbing ability, but all bikes are welcome regardless. If you bring kids, please make sure they are comfortable with climbs. This will be a no-drop ride as well, so if you have any issues, we will help!
