Was able to squeeze in another ride before Halloween. This route starts from Butte Creek Elementary School in Marquam. The first 10 miles to the Gallon House covered bridge is a nice warm-up. Today there was a south wind, which made this first 10-mile stretch much easier. The next section winds through Silverton toward Silver Falls. However, the route goes left at Quall Rd. Most of the climbing begins here. There is a steep (9-11%) 0.3 mile hill to Madrona Heights Rd, then it's a nice downhill to Evans Valley Rd. Opted to go left at Valley View Rd instead of taking Evans Valley Rd. The latter becomes gravel after a short distance. Valley View Rd comes out at Highway 213. The next portion is the Abiquia to Scott's Mills section. After the 3.7 mile spin on S. Abiquia Rd and crossing the bridge, was able to enjoy 20-25 mph going west back to 213 on Abiquia Rd NE. The tailwind continued on Meridian Rd to Mt. Angel-Scott's Mills Rd. Then it was 4 miles of crosswind into Scott's Mills (mile 32.5). The city park is the usual rest stop, but opted to continue on due to impending rain. Light rain started shortly after leaving the park and continued on the Kropf Rd stretch. Rain stopped on the final 8 miles. Endured more headwind from Gibson Rd to Highway 213, a 6 mile stretch. The final 0.5 mile was north on 213, with a tailwind.
