DETAILS

Some of your VBC ride leaders are used to having their "biggest" ride of the week on Saturdays. We're getting together to start a series of longer, weekend rides. Look for longer rides every Saturday during the riding season!

Travels from Salmon Creek towards Battle Ground, using lightly traveled country roads, then climbs the infamous Heart Attack Hill before coasting into Battle Ground for a break at the Battle Ground Skate Park. Takes a longer loop around Battle Ground Lake featuring beautiful, quiet backroads then returns to the skate park for another break. Heads back toward Salmon Creek via NE Onsdorff Blvd and NE 239th St. Crosses over I-5 via NE Carty Rd. and then tackles a few of Ridgefield's infamous ridges before returning to the start.
