Route Information

#0 - Spud
This route is named in honor of the Ridgefield Spudders so "Don't be a couch potato, come out and do The Spud."

We take the scenic route out to Ridgefield enjoying the view as we climb 11th Ave and Ecklund.  The Hillhurst descent takes us into Ridgefield to the coffee shop (re-group option). We circle around Ridgefield and pass behind the high school with a nice leg-stretcher climbing Royle, and return on quiet country roads that parallel the river and the Ridgefield Sanctuary. Back to the start with option for coffee at Starbucks after the ride. Flatter shortcut available!

Ride Start and Parking Note:  Salmon Creek Fred Meyer Shopping Center off 134th Street, just west of the I-5 and I-205 junction.
Please park in the southwest corner away from actual Starbucks parking area.
