Start from Riverview Park in Independence. The first leg is the 18.5 mile Buena Vista Ferry loop. At around mile 5 the road surface was chip seal. It wasn't too bad, but there were isolated spots of loose gravel. First break was the ferry ride at mile 12.3. There was a convoy of paddlers in the river. The ferry had to wait until the last of them went by. Dealt with a little headwind on the last 5 miles of the ferry loop. The headwind turned to some tailwind on Corvallis Rd. A few rollers then a long downhill to the Luckiamute River bridge just before Suver. Second stop was the little honey stand at 99W (mile 27). I was just about to start again when a combine brigade rolled to the 99W intersection. Decided to let them cross 99W and get ahead before taking off. The next 12 miles was the Airlie Rd segment. Evidently the Garmin route shows this as a competitive segment. I wasn't trying to go hard as this was more of a recovery/spin ride. Quick stop at the Highway 223 junction (mile 40), then tackled the 8-mile stretch to Dallas. Last stop was at Whitworth Elementary School in Dallas (mile 49). The final 11.5 miles was mostly tailwind, passing through Rickreall.
