DETAILS

All too often we get into a route rut - doing the same routes over and over.  This series will try a wide variety of routes from the Club's RWGPS collection.  We will not duplicate any rides during the season.  Who knows what these routes are like, so be prepared for an adventure.

These will be ReGroup ride, so we will wait for people at the top of hills or if they get caught behind a traffic light / stop sign. I will be holding the posted pace.  Faster and slower riders are welcome, but be prepared to navigate on your own.

Today's ride is the Orchards Rideabout.  Two previous attempts to do this route were rained out.  So we will try again... It is a pleasant rolling hills ride on quiet roads, multiuse trails and some bike lanes. This route goes through a large swath of farmland between Battle Ground and Salmon Creek. Keep your eyes open for views of Mt St Helens and Mt Hood. A nice relaxing ride.  

NOTE:  You have to cross a number of busy streets at the start.

Possible rest stop in Meadow Glade.

Be ready to ride 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time!  We will leave ON TIME.
