We ride the whoop-de-doos on the Padden path and then some hills and pleasant leg-stretcher rural roads toward Battle Ground before heading south on the 503 path. Ride through the infamous hole-in-the-fence. Stop at Brush Prairie Market about mile 14. Back to coffee at Brewed Awakenings or Starbucks.
