This is a new route taken from the Oregon 2024 MS150 web site. The McMinnville Evergreen Air Museum makes a great starting location. The first 2 miles covers the museum exit then a 1.1 mile stretch on busy Highway 18 east. There is a wide shoulder, but has not been swept. Lots of sand/gravel-type stuff. The next few miles is on quieter roads to Dayton (mile 6), then to Lafayette (mile 9). The MS ride had a rest stop in Lafayette at a small park. Continued on through Lafayette, past Trappist Abbey and then into Carlton (mile 17.5). Made this my first stop. There is a fairly decent climb a couple miles out of Carlton on Meadow Lake Rd. At mile 26.8 is the out-and-back segment on Baker Creek Rd. The first couple miles on Baker Creek Rd is a very gentle climb. Ed Grenfell Park makes a nice stop and there are restrooms. The next 5 miles on Baker Creek Rd is much more arduous, with a couple short, steep climbs. There are a couple more county parks, Huber and Power House. Eventually the pavement ends at a little lodge and a pullout for hiking and mountain biking. Enjoyed the 5.5 mile descent back to the Hill Rd junction. The return route continued past the NW Hill Rd to a round-about for Hill Rd. The next few miles meandered through residential areas and a couple school zones (managed to ride through as kids were departing). The final stretch took in the Highway 18 on-ramp then a 1.2 mile stretch on Highway 18 east and back to the museum.
