Four rad ladies showed up for our longest, hardest, hilliest and hottest ride so far in our series - 45 miles with plenty of hills.
We bee-lined on the Trolley Trail to the bridge over the Clackamas River at the crowded High Rocks swim spot, then onward and upward south of Oregon City. After a nice taste of the gorgeous country road called Central Point, we headed east toward Beaver Creek.
A long stop at the market for lunch refreshed us for the remainder of our adventure. On to Henrici and a gorgeous descent to the Mompano Reservoir (pictured), then more country roads to the busy ugly Redland Road. One mile on Redland Road feels like ten, but we managed and took our turn at Potter.
Lots of views of WyEast were on display for us. We took the grody Brady hill up to the wholesome Holcomb back to Oregon City. It was fun to try a new road out.
Soon we were back on the Trolley Trail and all of us agreed we needed to jump into the Willamette River at Milwaukie Bay Park before continuing to our Final Resting Spot and goodbyes.
