This route is for those who love rolling countryside punctuated with occasional rollers, a pleasant climb or two, a bit of wine tasting and a section to let the horses run - what we call the Fern Hill "Freeway". It's a big loop starting in Hillsboro, traversing west to Verboort, heading south through Forest Grove - home to Pacific University - and then back through more beautiful rolling farm country and suburban Hillsboro.

Washington County at it's most diverse - a pleasant mix of stiff climbs, stimulating descents and flat cruising through rolling farmlands. This route is evenly split - great views and stiff climbing above Helvetia and Pumpkin Ridge along with easy cruising through the berry fields and farm lands around Roy and Verboort. (less)

This route, slightly longer than a metric century, is largely rolling - to- flat with some awesome scenic climbing in the middle. Starting in Hillsboro, it rambles south down the Tualatin Valley through Forest Grove and Gaston - bottoming out near the town of Yamhill. The mid-point turn is a gorgeous and challenging ride around the Woodland Loop. (less)
