This was the ORBike Petal Pedal 70 mile route. Instead of starting from the Oregon Garden, opted to begin from Silverton city park, about 3/4 mile from the Garden. The first 18.5 miles went on Water Avenue toward Silver Falls, but turned off on Quall Rd for the steepest hill of the entire ride. The Abiqua-double followed, riding S. Abiqua Rd NE for 3.7 miles to the bridge crossing the creek, then 3 miles back on Abiqua Rd NE. First designated stop was at the Scott's Mills city park. The next section followed some of the Pioneer ride to Monte Cristo Rd. Turn left onto Monte Cristo for some long rollers then a nice spin into Monitor (mile 26.7). The route then covered Monitor-McKee Rd to the Howell Prairie junction. Go left onto Howell Prairie and after 2.5 miles continue south to North Howell (mile 39). The next 21 miles consists of a clockwise loop to Bethany, then Pratum and finally looping back to Howell Prairie Rd. The final 10 miles heads east then south to the Gallon House covered bridge (mile 66.85). Finally, ride through Silverton back to the park. Downtown was already crawling with people and cars by 1130 am.
