This was an organized ride put on by the Umpqua Velo club. The original routes and starting location were scrapped two days before the event due to smoke concerns and wildfire activity. The starting point was moved to Oakland, just north of Sutherlin. The 57-mile route was fantastic. Scenic, very little traffic and a taste of early fall. Weather conditions were perfect: Cloudy, no wind or smoke and temps in the low 60s to start then low 70s at the finish. First rest stop was at Plat I Reservoir (mile 20). The second one was at Mildred Kanipe Memorial Park (mile 37) . Several historic barns and other buildings at this site. Cycle Oregon 2011 likely used this location for a stop. The third break was at a winery (mile 43). This stop was mainly for the century riders. All in all, a great ride.
