This was an alternate version of the Silverton-Abiqua-Scotts Mills ride. Start from Marquam UM Church instead of Butte Creek Elementary. School was still in session. The first 15 miles cover Gallon House covered bridge then into Silverton. Continue through town on Water Ave. to Quall Rd. Go left on Quall Rd for a short, but steep, climb to Madrona Heights. Make a left onto Madrona Heights to Evans Valley Rd. Turn right then make a quick left on Valley View. After a short, gradual climb, there is a long downhill to Highway 213. The next section covers both sides of Abiqua Creek. The return portion on Abiqua Rd NE is much faster, 20-25 mph for most of it. Cross 213 again to Meridian Rd then head east on Mt. Angel - Scotts Mills Rd. Cross 213 yet again and continue into Scotts Mills. The park (mile 31.6) makes a good rest stop. After leaving the park, go a short way to Maple Grove Rd. Turn right and after about one-tenth of a mile, go right on Butte Creek Rd. This part is a 7.2 mile stretch, with several short climbs up to mile 6.5, then a downhill to the pavement end. The return is fantastic, easily 25-30 mph in stretches. However, beware of potholes, especially in shaded areas. There is a steady climb on the return from milepost 1.5 to 0.75. The final few miles cover Knowlens Bridge Rd to Highway 213 then back to the church. Three little kittens came out of nowhere as I was putting stuff away. Fortunately, someone else came by and took them.
