NOT UPDATED: START LOCATIONS MAY BE INACCURATE AND CLUB RIDES MIGHT USE A MODIFIED ROUTE This is a very hilly ride with a significant climb up Hughes, 4100’ of climbing. The climb up Hughes is doable but hard. Just come prepared to climb some steep 10%+ grades for parts of Hughes. If there are riders who do not want to climb Hughes there’s an opt-out for that climb. It is a beautiful low traffic route out to the falls either way. Start: parking lot across from Pendleton Mills 1 Pendleton Way / Washougal, WA. 98671 From Portland, OR take I-5 north, cross the Columbia River and take Route 14 east to Washougal. At Washougal River Rd (the only stop light on HWY 14 in Washougal), turn left. As you turn, on the right, you will see the Pendleton billboard. The Hearth and Torque Coffee shop are in the plaza next door. Plenty of options to eat in the plaza after the ride.

Option 1 adds in a 7 mile loop along Salmon Creek Ave, past Pleasant Valley Elem. to 119th St. Then a fun climb up Stutz Rd., and rejoin the main route on Hazel Dell Ave southbound. Note: for a shorter, easier version of this route, (22 mi) check out the Mini-Quake route.

It’s possible to get to east Vancouver and back on some fun (not so hilly) terrain. The route east covers a lot of back roads that are great for cycling. The westbound return eventually ends up on Evergreen to soak in Vancouver’s history.

The Easter Bunny route is full of rollers, climbs, and descents in north Clark County. It is rural and pretty. It is a challenging ride. The climbs and rollers are steep at times. This route exists because it looks something like an Easter bunny when the ride is tracked by a GPS unit or app, and posted to a map through Strava, or Ride with GPS. It is an example of Strava art. To see other examples of this, search “Strava Art” on Google and the click the images tab.

Ride starts and ends at River Maiden Coffee Shop. Most roads have bike lanes. If not, the roads are low traffic neighborhood streets. Route includes Burnt Bridge bike path and the paths thru two city parks. It's a flat route with 1 short, steep hill. Very pleasant in-town riding.
