New route today. Found it on RideWithGPS. This is the 2024 Oregon MS150 Day 1 main route. It has parts of a couple other routes. Start from the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville. Right off the bat this was going to be a mentally-challenging ride due to wind. The first 5 miles is through town, opposite direction of the MS Day 2 Long route. The next few miles headed south on Old Sheridan Rd then west on Masonville Rd. Mostly tailwind for the first 12.6 miles to the turn for SW Muddy Valley Rd. Several short rollers on Muddy Valley Rd, but enjoyed the 10-15 mph tailwind. Mile 16.6 was the Highway 18 crossing. Definitely not very safe, especially on a nice Sunday. The wind battle started after crossing 18. The next few miles headed east on Highway 153 to the Broadmead Rd. intersection. The route continued north on SW Briedwell Rd, opposite direction of the Walnut Hill Loop route. Constant headwind resulted in a 13-14 mph speed. Mile 26.3 was the Highway 99W turn. Was not too keen on riding a major highway, but it turned out not too bad. Nice, wide shoulder and smooth. Also picked up tailwind on the 2.6 mile segment into Amity. Rest stop at the Amity High School. Continued east on Highway 153 and the one long climb. About a mile long climb, but generally at 6-8% grade. Nice, long downhill to the Lafayette Highway turn. Made a right-turn onto SE Fairview Rd, which is the continuation of Walnut Hill Rd to the west. More headwind for the next 8 miles to Dayton. The next 4 miles covered a short stint on Lafayette Highway, then a nice spin on Loop Rd, with a little bit of tailwind assist. The last 2 miles was on Highway 18 and back to the Museum.
