Second go-around for this route. The first time occurred as a frontal system was moving into the area, resulting in gusty south-southwest wind. Today was typical late-spring early summer conditions with north wind. Ride begins in Dundee at a strip mall of wine-tasting rooms just north of the Highway 18 Bypass/99W junction. The first 13 miles heads north, meaning headwind. The turn onto NE Laughlin Rd finally gave a tailwind, although the first 2.5 miles is a slight incline. At mile 15.7 there is a short downhill then a 3 mile flat stretch with tailwind. Cruising at 25 mph with nominal effort. First rest stop is at Yamhill school (mile 19). Continue west on Moores Valley Rd then south on NW Westside Rd. Generally tailwind on that stretch as well, but with a few rollers. Cruise into Carlton, which makes for a good rest stop. Chose to continue on this time. At mile 31.1 is the turn for Lafayette. Need to use caution as it is a left-turn onto busy 99W. The route heads north out of town via Bridge St and this is where the headwind returned. The next six miles was headwind. At mile 37 veer right onto Highway 240 and continue for 0.8 mile to NE Worden Hill Rd, the monster hill. It is a 1.2 mile climb with three sections of 11-14% grade. The rest is downhill, except for a short, steep climb at mile 41.5 then a long downhill into Dundee. There are several wineries from the summit down to Dundee.
