Just finished this
invitational ride set up by KRhea, Portland Velo's president. 71 miles, over 5600 ft of gain, starting at the Timberlake Civilian Conservation Center outside Estacada, Oregon, off highway 224. The route starts with a 14 mile Cat 1 climb on paved forest service roads in Mt. Hood National Forest and circumnavigates Timothy Lake. I'd definitely recommend this route. We had volunteer support, even tech support courtesy of master mechanic,Todd, of
Southwest Bicycle in Multnomah Village. I do think prepared riders in a group of at least 4 could go out and do it unsupported. There is water at some of the campgrounds along the way. No cell phone coverage. As KRhea put it,
If you have to tweet, update your facebook status or contact your bookie you're hurtin'.
