Another great morning to ride. Cloudy, low 60s and minimal wind. Started from Hondo Dog Park in Hillsboro. The first 6 miles went through Hillsboro and served as a good warm-up. Nice bike lanes and a 1.3 mile cyclepath along E Main St. The next 6 miles covered River Rd, then Rood Bridge Rd to Burkhalter. Crossed Highway 219 at mile 10.9 to SW Simpson Rd then to the Riedweg climb. The first pitch was generally 8-10%, but only 1/4 to 1/3 mile. After a short downhill, the second pitch was 5-8% and 1/2 mile. Nice downhill, followed by another climb to Dober Rd. Went by Dober Reservoir then another short climb before dropping down to Iowa Hill Rd. Fun 2-mile downhill and flat to Tongue Rd then onto SW Bloomingfern Rd and more climbing. Two short hills before a fairly steep downhill to SW Fern Hill Rd. Dangerous intersection as it's a steep downhill to a stop sign. Next was a 2.2 mile cruise to SW Springhill Rd and a 4-mile jaunt into Gaston for a rest stop at the city park. Two other cyclists pulled in shortly after me. Went through Gaston then onto Old Highway 47 to the real Highway 47. Have to cross 47, but wasn't too bad on a Sunday morning. A short 0.4 mile segment to a left-turn at Dudney Rd. Need to be careful getting into the turn lane on 47. Course went through Dilley and into Forest Grove (mile 33.6). Easy spin through Forest Grove to Thatcher Rd and then a right-turn at David Hill Rd. Rode 47 to Verboort Rd then took Verboort past the Sausage Festival site eventually to Wren Rd. The final 8 miles was on Wren Rd, Evergreen Rd and then NE 59th back to the dog park.
