I did a fifty mile bike ride yesterday! It is maybe a longest bike ride I've done and it was had some up hills to do too. I start off from my house and went south on 17th and went to Milwaukie.
I took River Road up to Oregon City. That was a little up hill at the very beginning.
From Oregon City I took 5th ave. to Linn, and then jumped on Central Point Rd. This was even more up hill.
Central Point Rd. took me into Canby. It was a beautiful road with farms, and orchards. I saw horses, cows, sheep, chickens. There were no bike lanes past Oregon City, but there wasn't much traffic.
I took Central Point Rd. to New Era road to 12th Ave. and into Canby.
I then took the Canby Ferry over the Willamette River towards West Linn.
I took Mountain Rd. straight up hill and went I got to the top of Mountain Rd. there was a cute miniature town, it was called Tizzy Town.
Then was real up hill battle up Pete's Mountain Rd. the road is little bit under 1000 feet, but I don't have a lot a up hill experience so I was happy to get to the top.
Then at was down hill and I went threw West Linn on Willamette Falls Dr. and over the Oregon City Bridge.
Then I through Oregon City and back on River Road to Milwaukie and then on 17th ave. to home. Jon Storm park was named for a volunteer who died volunteering during Arbor Day. Am happy I did this trip, it is a first real trip I have taken by bike and it get's me ready for the Harvest Century which is coming up on this weekend.
