The 40 Mile
What better way to see Portland than on a bike? This is a nice, mostly flat route perfect for riders of all skill levels. You’ll travel along Marine Drive and along the serene 205 bike path. This route has one major climb over Mt. Tabor for incredible citsyscape and West Hills views. From there you’ll sail smoothly through the vibrant neighborhoods of SE Portland (including Ladd’s Addition) on your way to cross the river and head for the finish line.
This course features fewer menu options en route than the other two because it is much shorter and we want you to save your appetite for appetizers and the gourmet finish line dinner (plus free beer garden). Get ready for an incredible Portland tour on this great course.
