Join us for a leisurely Sunday morning ride leading from the Beaverton City Library to the Tigard Public Library! Bring a book (or check one out at our destination) and some cash for the Tigard Farmer's Market, which we will pass shortly before reaching the Tigard Public Library. The planned route covers 6.6 miles of mostly-flat terrain and almost exclusively follow the Fanno Creek Trail. Expect a small amount of road cycling along SW 5th Street & low-traffic neighborhood greenways during the first 25% of the route, then paved multi-use paths with minimal street crossings the rest of the way. This is a no-drop ride and we will cycle at a relaxed social pace (under 10 mph) - that way we can safely travel around any pedestrians (or ducks) on the trail. We will also make a water/bathroom pit stop about halfway along the route. Lastly, there will be an optional return ride that will depart 2 hours after we arrive at the Tigard Public Library. This 9.3 mile return route will be more adventurous, mostly mostly emphasizing low traffic greenways and residential streets and occasionally crossing paths with the Fanno Creek Trail. We will swing further west and then north to pass through the Stark Reservoir; follow SW 125th before cutting through the Downing Greenway to get back to FCT; make a right on SW Denney and proceed north along the elevated bikeway on SW Western Ave; and lastly make a left on SW 5th Street to finish up at the Beaverton City Library. The exact details of the return route may be subject to change prior to Sunday 8/17. Feel free to email me with any suggested changes.
