DETAILS

This is a trial run of a ride that last appearred on the ride calendar back in 2022. We may well encounter some obstacles that necessitate real-time route adjustment(s) so bring an open mind and plan accordingly! The following is shamelessly plagerized from the original club calendar entry:

It’s time to explore another route in the Hills of Washougal. This week we will climb Gibson to get us out of Washougal. From there we climb the short lovely shady grade to the top of Salmon Falls. After a stop at the Mercantile we will climb Skye (~ 2 miles/ 7% & 8%). After running the ridge at the top, we descend Hughes partway down. Turn left on Borin…lots of rollers until we finally get back to the river. From there we climb Vernon up and over, all downhill back into Washougal.

This is a social, group ride. Make sure you have the fitness and gears to climb steep hills. Please do a bike safety check before riding. A few of the descents STEEP, FUN and FAST!!
