This ride starts from Independence city park. The first 5 miles is a nice warm up through Monmouth then out on Highway 194, or Monmouth Highway. There is a 1.4 mile climb starting at mile 5.1, but generally 5-7% grade. The second climb on Highway 194 is shorter, but a little steeper. The Kings Valley Rd junction is at mile 10. Around mile 10.4 is another long climb followed by a nice, lengthy downhill. Mile 17.5 is the little burg of Pedee. The route goes by the Pedee school and church, with another short climb. MIle 21 is the Ritner Covered Bridge and rest stop #1. Continue on Kings Valley Rd for another 2.4 miles to Kings Valley. At Kings Valley Charter School turn left onto Maxfield Creek Rd. This road is 7.4 miles, with a long 3.6 mile climb, but mostly 5-6% grade. Then it's another long downhill past Arlie Winery and eventually to Arlie Rd. Rest stop #2 is at this quaint little self-serve honey store at Highway 99W and Suver Rd. The last 15 miles heads south on Corvallis Rd to Springhill Rd, then north on Buena Vista Rd, crossing the Luckiamute River, with another climb to Prather Rd. Finally, a series of long rollers on Corvallis Rd and a 3.5 mile flat stretch back to the park.
