Route: Started at Linneman Station on the Springwater Trail, Rode north on the Gresham Fairview Trail, 181st to Marine Drive. to Kelly Point via the Lombard Trail, Lunch. Back on the Lombard Trail to N Portland, down to the Columbia Slough, Pennisula Trail, thru St Johns to Willamette, University Park, Greely, Interstate, Across the Steel Bridge, Tilikum Bridge, Springwater Corridor back to Linneman Station.

Let me say this was probably the most exciting ride I have ever done. Riddled with events some flat entertaining, some really made me mad, and others were flat out scary. Overall, great ride, with lots of stuff that I loved. Two kids are completely sold on Cycling, thats my favorite part. One adult who believed in herself enough to complete it even when it was hard, very proud moment here. Parents who did an absolute amazing job supporting the entire event! My end thought? Very proud of everyone and how everything was handled through the trials and their perseverance.
