Begin from Pacific City. Head north to Sandlake Rd. Veer left onto Sandlake Rd. There is a minor hill at the start of Sandlake Rd, but only 4-5% grade. The hill is followed by a gradual descent to the McPhillips Drive junction. Turn right to stay on Sandlake Rd and continue on through Tierra del Mar, past the turn for the Sandlake Recreation area to the Cape Lookout Rd junction. Go right to stay on Sandlake Rd for a 1.3 mile hill climb. Another 3 miles after the climb is the Highway 101 junction. Turn right toward Hebo. Ride into Beaver then turn left onto Blaine Rd. This road turned out to be a wonderful, smooth ride along the Nestucca River. Decided to ride 7.5 miles up the road, just before Limestone Creek. Will need to explore this more on another ride. Returned to Highway 101 and continue south to Hebo and then to Cloverdale. At mile 40, turn right onto Old Woods Rd. This gets you off busy 101. Continue 4.4 miles to the Sandlake Rd intersection. Cross over the Ferry St. bridge then go left onto Resort Drive. Continue 2.9 miles to HIghway 101. Turn right for a short, gradual hill. After about 2/3 mile veer right onto Brooten Rd for the final 2.5 miles back to Pacific City.
