DETAILS
This ride is part of a series of weekend rides designed to help you prepare for the
Metric Plus route
at this year's
Ride Around Clark County event
. We're not training on the RACC route itself, but we
will
build up to similar distance and elevation gain.
This week's route uses the popular North Route Reverse but we'll start from the Salmon Creek Starbucks
(NE 139th St & NE 20th Ave) instead of the normal location
. We'll head north and east toward Battle Ground using lightly traveled back roads and avoiding most hills. We loop around Battle Ground, then head south toward Hockinson via China Ditch. Once we're done with The Ditch we head back west along NE 99th and NE 63rd Streets, before heading north back to our starting point in Salmon Creek.
Those who like an extra challenge can tackle the 3.5-mile sprint south along China Ditch Road (a.k.a.
NE 172nd Ave).
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

before
