STP Training Ride #12

Description

Please read the Covid protocols before attending the ride. https://portlandbicyclingclub.com/protocols/

This is the last of the 2023 STP Training Rides. We will cover just under 75 miles over a course that pretty much matches the terrain on the STP—lots of flat stretches with low traffic, some city streets, and a couple of hills, including one that is quite steep, but less than a block long.

We will leave from Wilshire Park, out to Kelly Point, across the I-5 bridge, out to Frenchman’s Bar, then Larson’s Bakery for a break and a treat. Then around Lacamas Lake, back across the I-205 bridge and home. This is just a compilation of rides that the club routinely rides.

The ride is listed as a group ride, but for those riders comfortable with higher speeds and who can navigate the route on their own, feel free to ride at your own speed. Please let the ride leader know if you go ahead on your own, and please let the ride leader know your mileage within 24 hours. For those who want to ride at the usual two-day STP pace, you can stay with me.
