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!
A metric century with just the right amount of climbing! But not for the faint of heart because some of the hills although short are rather steep. But no long sustained climbs. Gorgeous rolling hills with views of the Columbia river and all the mountains. Water and bathrooms available at Lacamas Lake and Battleground so this ride could be done unsupported. A good mix of bike lanes and lightly traveled rural roads.
REGISTRATION
Registration is required and almost always free to both members and non-members. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to register for this event.
