100 MILES - THE FULL CENTURY :

This is the route that sparked the ride: century that's all about Portland, from start to finish. For the most part it's a flat loop but the hills, and some of the greatest parts of the ride, come around Bull Run (Portland's drinking water source). This is extreme climbing with fast descents on narrow, winding roads. You'll want to take those descents slowly, even if you're an experienced rider, for the sake of safety.

There are five rest stops along the way. The many Portland highlights include Johnson Creek, the Columbia River, Smith and Bybee Lakes and a grand finale stretch along Broadway downtown, right past Pioneer Courhouse Square - Portland's living room.

50 MILES - THE HALF CENTURY :

If you're not up for a full century, you'll still get a nice ride on this 50 mile route. The course is a modified version of the century, with the Bull Run stretch cut out. This route features some of Portland's best off road paths, including the Springwater Corridor, the I-205 Path, Marine Drive and Smith and Bybee Lakes. There are three rest stops along the way.

25 MILES - THE QUARTER CENTURY :

What better way to see Portland than on a bike? This is a nice flat route perfect for riders of all skill levels. The route features the Springwater Corridor, the I-205 Path, Smith and Bybee Lakes, out to Kelley Point Park and back to Portland. There are two rest stops along the way.
