Another North Valley Vineyard Loop ride. Start in Dundee. The ride starts with a nice 200-foot climb through residential areas before hitting Highway 99W. Fortunately, the route is on 99W for less than 1/2 mile, then it goes on less-busy roads into Newberg. North Valley Rd is somewhat busy and there is not much shoulder. Mile 9.1 passes Ewing Young Elementary School, which has been used as a rest stop on various organized rides. The 4-mile section of North Valley Rd from the intersection of NE Ribbon Ridge Rd is busier than the first segment. The traffic diminishes quite a bit at NE Laughlin Rd, There is a neat winery at mile 15, or 1.1 miles on Laughlin Rd. Nice tailwind on the last two miles of Laughlin Rd, easily spinning 25 mph. The first rest stop is at Yamhill-Carlton Intermediate School (mile 19.5). Continue through Yamhill and enjoy several long rollers on Westside Rd. The route goes into Carlton (mile 26). Optional stop at Ladd Park or Carlton Civic Center. Plenty of farms and orchards throughout the entire ride. The next several miles is a nice, easy spin to Highway 99W just outside Lafayette. Use extreme caution turning left on 99W from NE Mineral Springs Rd. The second rest stop, mile 34.5, is at the turn for Trappist Abbey. Headwind from Lafayette to Trappist Abbey. The next six miles continues north (headwind) and then east on Highway 240 to the killer hill at NE Worden Hill Rd. This 1.5 mile hill has 750 feel elevation gain, with three pitches at 11-13% grade. The reward is a one-mile downhill, followed by a short, 0.3 mile steep climb. Then, it's all downhill back to Dundee.
