Mine are,
Scholls Ferry (Between BHH and Allen Rd) Even with cars, exceptionally nice terrain with few stops!
Mult Blvd (between Garden Home and 45th) nice stretch of road, nice up hill grade with new bike lane stripes.
Barrow Ln, "Mystery Road" (just after 135th on Scholls Ferry) wonderful road that has you bypass the "hill" on SF on your way to Roy Rogers Road. If you decide to take the hill on SF, following the hill this road pops up. Take it and it mysteriously places you near Fanno Creek. Hard to explain! It is as if a witch cast a spell to have you return to where you've been, yet you feel as if you were further from where you've been, till you look at a map and figure it out! There was a road where I grew up that was mysteriously like this in a different sort of way. When you went down it you felt as if you were going down hill and if you went up it you felt as if you were going down hill. You'd ask yourself which way is up afterwords! Dorothea Road LHH California.
Roy Rogers Road: feels like being on vacation with rolling hills and pastural views. This road is for those of us who live in a forrested area of Portland and miss looking out beyond 50 feet!
SW Terwiller, love the descent and equally love the ascent. Quality route to downtown. Marquam trail (hiking only) which branches off TW is a definite plus, hardly used by hikers, luscious forrest.
