DETAILS


Join ride leader Jerry Van der Salm for a refreshingly flat, car-light ramble through the scenic Woodland area! This ride is tailor-made for those who consider hills a mere rumor and prefer the serene expanse of open roads.

We'll roll out for a comfortable 17-mile journey, sticking to the wonderfully flat terrain that makes this route a perennial favorite. The pace will be easy-going, determined by the group, ensuring everyone enjoys the ride without feeling rushed. You can expect significantly fewer cars than your average ride, letting you soak in the peaceful countryside.

Post-Ride Peonies & Coffee

The best part? After we've enjoyed the flat roads, Jerry invites all riders back to his home for some well-deserved coffee and camaraderie. You'll also have the delightful opportunity to stroll through and capture photos of his beautiful peony field – it's typically in full bloom this time of year!

Jerry's address is 35008 NW Toenjes Rd, Woodland, WA 98674
