Ride began from Timber Linn Park in Albany. This route is a combination of the Covered Bridge Tour 25 mile and metric century routes. The first bridge, Gilkey, is at mile 14.96. This segment is generally flat, although there are a couple roller hills on Scravel Hill Rd. The second bridge, Shimanek, is at mile 23.5. A majority of the climbing occurs from the first to the second bridge. There is one steep hill on Brock Drive, off Stayton-Scio Road. Nice downhill at Ridge Rd and Richardson Gap Rd leading up to the Shimanek Bridge. Enjoyed a little wind advantage on the north-south Richardson Gap Rd. The final bridge, Hoffman, is at mile 31.6 on Hungry Hill Rd. The bridge spans Crabtree Creek. The final 14 miles is flat and through open fields. Crosswind or headwind for most of this section.
