Milwaukie's Hidden Routes Ride

[Matt P.]

Every Neighborhood in Milwaukie has its secret places...

We're going to explore most of them.

Come on the Milwaukie's Hidden Routes ride and see the nooks,
crannies, alleys, and cut-throughs of Milwaukie. We're going to ride
nearly every legal shortcut through Milwaukie's negihborhoods. This
is not a ride for the faint-hearted. Bring a mountain bike, or put
wide knobbies on your road bike and bring a patch kit or a spare tube.
We're going to see brambles, dirt, gravel, hills, thrills, and
hopefully no spills.

There are a couple of steep descents on this ride, a fair amount of
low hill climbing (at least 4 ascents up to 200' elevation change
each).

to ride it again.
16 miles, approximately 2 hours. Start and end at Milwaukie City
Hall, 10722 SE Main Street, Milwaukie.

Live far to the north in Portland? No excuse - Milwaukie City Hall
sits right next to a Tri-Met transit center. Take buses 31, 32, 33,
70, 75 or 99 to get there from downtown Portland or the NE side.
