Shute Park to Banks or North Plains

Description

This ride starts from Shute Park and we meet at the parking lot behind the Senior Center off SE 8th Ave. Much of this ride is beautiful farm country on the Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway. Traffic is very low. We will re-group every 5 miles, riding in two speed groups: “Compassionate” at 16-17 mph, and “Competitive” (but not heartless) at 18-19 mph (possibly a little slower on rainy/fender days and faster on dry days). “Compassionate” riders and those riding slower than 16 mph: Each week we will decide the route at the beginning of the ride. If you do not know the route, please print a cue sheet. Please bring a snack for the break, which is usually in Banks or Forest Grove.

Please read the Covid protocols before attending the ride.
