Third time for the North Valley Vineyard Loop. Always a pleasant ride, especially in the morning. Start from a strip mall of wine-tasting places next to the little Tipsu Palach Park in Dundee. Instead of heading straight out on Highway 99W, decided to follow the original route on residential streets to SW 1st then to 99W. This entailed an extra 250 feet climbing. The next few miles heads into Newberg via less-busy roads then to NE North Valley Rd, which ended up being fairly busy even at 8 am. Take North Valley Rd past Ewing Elementary School NE Laughlin Rd. Plenty of farms and wineries along North Valley Rd. Laughlin Rd is much less busy and makes for a pleasant ride. Mile 17 is the junction for Highway 240 into Yamhill. First rest stop Yamhill Carlton Middle School (mile 19.8). Continue through Yamhill on Moore's Valley Rd to Westside Rd then NW Meadow Lake Rd. Several rollers on this stretch. Meadow Lake Rd comes into Carlton. Continue east to Mineral Springs Rd. Veer right onto Mineral Springs to 99W (again). The left-turn onto 99W is tricky due to lots of traffic. Head into Lafayette then turn left at Bridger St. The next few miles to Trappist Abbey is a little busy. Ride another 1.1 miles to NE Kuehne Rd. Veer right onto Kuehne Rd and after about a mile comes the turn for Highway 240. Veer right and go another 0.8 mile to the dreaded Worden HIll climb. The climb is nearly 2 miles, with at least 3 short pitches of 12-14% grade. The summit is at mile 41.0. Enjoy a lengthy downhill before another short, steep climb to the next summit. The next 2 miles is another nice downhill into Dundee.
