Distance 11 miles with 1 mile option to visit Bike Clark County, the Community Bike Shop. Pace - 10 - 12 mph Terrain - Minor Elevation - 202' A social paced, mostly flat, ride for newer riders who are comfortable riding and want to gain confidence riding on city streets and in groups. Come get acquainted or reacquainted. You may discover a new favorite route. No one left behind. We'll have a leader and a sweep. We will ride from Pearson Air Museum (please park on street) across the land bridge and out to Wintler Park. We will return via the trail along the river, through Marine Park to the Kaiser Shipyard Memorial. From there we retrace Columbia Way and continue down to the beautiful, new waterfront area (restrooms there). Our return routes us through downtown and back to Pearson Air Museum via Officers Row with the option to add 1-mile for a side trip to our community bike shop, Bike Clark County, where the staff is friendly, the service is great, and prices are right! We'll see how the group feels at that point in the ride.
