The August monthly ride is a loop ride that is classified as moderate to difficult. This ride will use all gears and brakes. The ride will traverse dirt trails, steep hills, and narrow paths, occasionally near traffic. The ride begins at Milwaukie Bay Park and heads north to the Sellwood Bridge. After crossing the bridge cyclists will ascend 500 ft up the cemetery switchbacks, take a break, and go on to Lewis & Clark College, Tyron Creek State Natural Area, and Lake Oswego. Eventually arriving in Gladstone for a well deserved lunch at the Arlington Taphouse and Food Carts before returning to Milwaukie. Total mileage back to downtown Milwaukie is around 25 miles. This ride, although very challenging, is going to be a thrill because of the challenges and the environment you encounter. The ride will put a huge smile on your face!!! That being said, make sure to bring extra hydration, snacks, and a bike repair kit(tire). Warning: The ride is challenging and NOT RECOMMENDED for INEXPERIENCED riders and those riders with physical limitations.
