Link country roads with the ‘burbs south of Portland on this 26-miler starting from Memorial City Park in Wilsonville. Head north on Memorial Drive toward Town Center Loop to get started. The ride’s early miles cross through Wilsonville’s moderately trafficked surface streets before following I 5 to the north on a frontage road. Then, after one mile on Ridder Road, hit the countryside by turning right onto Grahams Ferry Road. Heading west on Tonquin Road, you’ll glide past small farms before crossing through dense woods while nearing Sherwood.

Follow Oregon Street into town and fuel up on food and drink at Rainbow Market before heading northwest toward the ride’s first climb. After pedaling past new suburban development on Edy Road and the early parts of Roy Rogers Road, enter the country once again upon hitting the climb up Lebeau Road. This mildly graded ascent pushes upward for 2.3 miles before leading to a fast 2-mile downhill on Edy Road.

After the descent, coast back through Sherwood while enjoying a mainly flat 4.6-mile stretch. Then, while heading south on Ladd Hill Road, hit the ride’s second and final climb. This 1.2-miler contains two quick sections featuring steep 11 percent grades. Turn right to fly down Pleasant Hill Road after completing the climb, beginning a relaxing 3.4-mile downhill section leading back to Wilsonville. Pick up Town Center Loop again to return to Memorial City Park and complete the ride.
