West Hills Roller Coaster – Super Special Edition

Description

On-line sign-in.

This ride may be cancelled due to heat or rain. Please check this posting on the morning of the ride before attending.

This Super Special Edition of the West Hills Roller Coaster shouldn’t be missed (and of course none of the regular ones should be missed either), but this one is really special. Why? Because it’s MINE! and it’s starting about 4 miles south of Milwaukie. This route is so special that this may be the only time that it is offered (besides, it really stretches the West Hills concept). For those that are concerned that this doesn’t seem very West Hills Roller Coaster-like don’t worry because you will recognize a lot of the route as Roller Coaster variations with (maybe) a little less elevation gain than normal, but not by much. Since there is no map and the cue is marginally helpful, this will be a Group ride, but with Regrouping, too. Really not much different from what we normally do. Riders new to our group: we’ll watch out for you since this is a group ride but you have to be hill friendly. The pace is an indication of effort on the flats, so obviously, we will be slower on the assents, but still putting out the effort, and slower in congested areas and slower with all of the stop and go in some areas. Attached is a marginal cue sheet.
