Applegate 600 preride notes:
This is a fun, pretty ride. Lots and lots of roads that the OR Randonneurs
have never organized an event on. Some amazing views and scenery.
Miles and miles of quiet riding. A good challenge, but not a stupid insane
one. C'mon fellow Oregon Randos, sign up! I created this route so that
y'all could ride some new roads, and it turns out most of the people who
are currently signed up have never ridden any of our roads anyway.
Key points:
* I'm moving the start time to 5 am, to give folks more daylight to work
with.
* Don't wait for the controls to eat/resupply. The first timed control is
118 km into the ride, and I thought I'd be fine downing 2 ensures to get me
through to there. I ended up falling behind on my food intake, and it took
me a while to climb out of that hole. There are plenty of places to stop
and eat along the way, take advantage of them.
* The stretch of highway 99 out of Cottage Grove sucks -- heavy-ish traffic
and not much room, and most people will be riding it at night. Lights and
reflective clothing are MANDATORY, the more the better.
* Bring a dollar for the Wheatland Ferry.
* I'm re-routing the stretch from Silverton to Canby -- it'll be Meridian,
rather than Needy Road. Needy was scenic and quiet, but the pavement
sucks, there's lots of needlessly painful mini-rollers, and I encountered 4
unconfined dogs. Meridian has slightly more traffic, but it's not bad,
plus it's fast and pretty pleasant, and no less direct.
* This route has a whole bunch of information controls. I put them all at
intersections, so there wouldn't be any doubt as to the location. You'll
want to have a writing implement with you, because there are probably too
many info controls for you to just rely on memory.
* There will be NO DROP BAG SERVICE on this ride. There will be a staffed,
fully-stocked control at the overnight with food and drink. If you want to
sleep, you will have to make your own arrangements for a room. Though the
beds in the overnight control will be available for napping, I'm not sure
how restful they'll be.
The ride:
You are out of Oregon City in a flash. Clackamas River Road is quite
pleasant early in the morning, good scenery and little traffic. At Carver,
you take rolling roads over the Boring Lava Flow to Fisher's Mill, and then
down a creek valley to Viola.
At Viola, you hit your first climb going up Fellows Road. It starts off
ridiculously steep, but it's only until the first switchback, not even a
quarter mile. Then it's just normal steep for another quarter mile, and
then it's just a regular climb that stairsteps up until you get to Lower
Highland Road. You get a quick downhill to Shockley and Lewellen. More
stair-stepping up Lewellen to Beeson Rd, and then you're at the top. It's
pretty much downhill all the way to Union Mills. Do keep your speed in
check on Windy City road -- there are a couple of tight hairpin turns right
at the bottom.
Now you're in the first flat section. Union Mills Road is a little bit
busy, and there's not a huge amount of room, but the sightlines are good
and you're only on it for a mile or two. Cascade Highway is also busy, but
there's a huge shoulder, so no problem. Then you're on Barnards, and
traffic is light for a long time. It's basically flat all the way across
the valley until you get to Amity Rd. Whiskey Hill or Hubbard would make
good places to take a break -- buy a soda or a snicker bar, or use the
facilities. Maybe get some change for the ferry, if you haven't taken care
of that already.
Once you get across the river, Wallace Road is pretty busy, but you aren't
on it long. Lafayette Highway is not quite as busy. The climb over the
Amity Hills is pretty quiet, not steep, and not long. Amity, your first
timed control, is on the other side. Plenty of services to choose from
there -- coffee shop, mini mart, whatever.
Past Amity, it's the familiar Broadmead and Perrydale Roads. The former is
flat, the latter marks the beginning of a stretch of fairly sizeable
rolling hills. By my count it's about 4 bumps before you get into Dallas.
Traffic is light for this stretch.
Full services in Dallas, including a bike store on Main Street if you need
one. South of Dallas, traffic picks up a bit on King's Valley Highway,
though it's still fairly light. Terrain is lightly rolling until you turn
on to Soap Springs Road, many miles away. After you cross the Little
Luckiamute River and turn onto Airlie Road, the traffic drops off to almost
nothing.
After several miles on Airlie Road, you make a right onto Berry Creek Road
(be careful, as there was a bunch of loose gravel on the pavement at this
intersection.) On Berry Creek, there's a section of gravel road that's a
little shorter than 2 miles in the middle. The gravel section starts at
the top of a small roller, goes down and up another small roller, then down
and up another small roller, and then you get the pavement back. It's not
the smoothest gravel road I've been on, and it's somewhat loose, but it's
not deep or unrideable by any stretch. It shouldn't pose anyone any
problem.
Shortly after the gravel stretch, you turn onto Soap Creek Road. This
stretch into Corvallis is a highlight -- very pretty scenery, quiet road.
You gently stair-step up until you hit Sulphur Springs Road, and then it's
a 6% grade up through the woods for a mile. Then zoom down the other side,
over another bump, and you're in Corvallis. I've tried to route you
through town as painlessly as possible, and just as you're on your way out,
I've sent you by a Safeway (with a couple restaurants in the area) which
would make another good pit stop.
You head south out of Philomath on Bellfountain Road. There's some traffic
at the north end, but it's not bad, and it falls off once you get to around
Airport Ave or so. It's perfectly quiet past the Finley Wildlife Refuge.
Terrain is flat to moderate rolling hills.
After you leave Bellfountain Road and cut over to the east on Alpine,
Monroe is another good pit stop. You leave Monroe to the south on
Territorial Road. There's a fair amount of traffic on Territorial,
unfortunately. It's not awful, but keep your wits about you. Terrain is
rolling and flat. If you're at the very back of the pack, flirting with
control closures, you might think about resupplying at the Dari Mart in
Cheshire, as the last store to close in Veneta closes at 11, and there's
nothing after that until the 24 hour convenience store in Cottage Grove.
Veneta, your next timed control, features a Ray's Food Place (open until
10) and a Dari Mart (open until 11). If you arrive later than that, you'll
just have to get an ATM receipt for your proof of passage. South of
Veneta, the traffic on Territorial dies away, and the scenery goes up
several notches. It's lightly rolling and flat into Lorane (there's a
store there that closes at 8.)
The road over to Cottage Grove is basically one climb up, and then a long
descent into town. It's a couple miles of climbing, but not particularly
steep or difficult. You're basically at the top when you get through the
clear cut. Almost no traffic for this stretch.
In Cottage Grove, the Short Stop on the corner of Main and Highway 99 is
open 24 hours. Then, you go north on 99. It's not a lot of fun, I'm
afraid -- not a lot of room, and a fair amount of fast traffic.
Fortunately, it's only 4 miles before you tun onto Davisson, which is quite
nice, and which takes you almost all of the rest of the way into Creswell.
North of Creswell, you're on 99 again, but it's quite a bit mellower,
traffic-wise.
Dillard takes you over one last climb before the overnight control. The
climb starts off fairly tame but gets steeper towards the top, and isn't
quite a mile. Fun but twisty descent. On the other side, you just take
Amazon Parkway to 30th and get on the bikeway. It's fairly easy to
navigate the bikeway; just keep Amazon Creek immediately on your left.
After you've gone around South Eugene High School, dogleg over to High
Street, and that'll take you to the overnight motel (The Timbers Motel on
10th Ave.)
The next morning, you take Coburg Road out of town. You take the Coburg
Road bike path across the river, and it'll make your life a lot easier if
you stay on the path at least until you go under I-105. After that, the
bike lanes on the road start up. At 6 in the morning on a Sunday there was
zero traffic, and the road was flat and smooth all the way to Priceboro
Road. When you cut over to Gap Road, you have a couple bumps to pull
yourself up over, and the pavement is a little rougher, but there's still
no traffic.
There's a convenience store in Brownsville if you want to stop, and
Northern Drive, Crawfordsville Drive, and Old Holley Road are a nice, quiet
route into Sweet Home. Do note that as you're going down the hill in
Holley looking for your left turn onto Old Holley Road, the street sign is
a bit obscured by a tree, so it could be easy to miss. You stairstep up a
couple steep pitches, then down the other side and you're in town.
The traditional control in Seet Home is the Thriftway on the corner of OR
228 and US 20, but feel free to get your card signed anywhere. I did not
do a survey looking for 24 hour services for those who might want to ride
through the night; presumably there's something on US 20 if you detour into
town a little to the east. There is definitely a 24 hour 7-11 in Lebanon,
about 20 miles away, on the corner of US 20 and Milton St, which would only
be a short detour from the course.
The road from Sweet Home to Lebanon and beyond to West Scio is extremely
flat (except for the initial bump to get out of Sweet Home) and fast. Very
little traffic on the route at any time of day. Berlin and Brewster roads
even have pretty generous shoulders for the most part. Cold Springs Road
is lovely and quiet, Gilkey is pastoral and features a covered bridge.
There's a store at the intersection of West Scio Road and Jefferson-Scio
Drive if you want to get a coke before you start climbing Mount Pleasant.
A little past the store, you turn east and start going up Ridge Road.
Ridge doesn't gain elevation too quickly overall, but it does stair-step up
in a series of fairly steep rolling climbs. Eventually, you find yourself
atop the eponymous ridge, with stunning views of the surrounding
countryside, Thomas Creek to the south and the Santiam River to the north.
Mt Pleasant Drive takes you over the top of the hill; a sweet little
country lane that zips over the ridge, around the pastures, and through the
forest. You get a ridiculous fun descent down the other side into Lyons (a
reasonable place to have some food and a rest.)
Out of Lyons, you cross the highway and go up the other side, on Fernridge
Road. The road has 2 insanely steep pitches that are nevertheless
extremely short. If you have to walk them, it won't cost you much time.
Once you crest the second steep pitch, the road levels off, just sort of
merrily rolls along, and then points downhill a bit. Then you have a
moderate climb across a field and into the woods, and at the crest is the
intersection with Basil Hill Road. Basil Hill Road starts off with another
insanely steep pitch, but again, it's incredibly short, not even a quarter
mile.
Needless to say, traffic isn't anything like being a worry for any of this
stretch.
Over Basil Hill, you zip down through Coon Hollow and onto Triumph Road. At
the very eastern end of Triumph is one final stupid steep grade; it's not
even 30 linear feet, but I did finally get off and walk it -- it took me
maybe 2 minutes to crest it. From there on, it's big ol' rollers all the
way to and up Victor Point Road. The scenery is spectacular in this whole
stretch. When you turn left to stay on Victor Point after the intersection
with Drift Creek Road, you get a really sweet 3 mile descent into
Silverton.
Silverton has a full array of services, including a bike store, coffee
shops, and a Roth's supermarket that the route goes right by. At this
point, you're home free. You'll be taking Meridian north to Canby across
the Elliott Prairie. It's flat and fast. There's a bit of traffic on the
southern end of the road, but it falls off quite a bit once you get past
Monitor. Past Whiskey Hill, you'll turn on Zimmerman, and take Oglesby and
Bolland to Lone Elder, and then the Canby Marquam Highway across the
Molalla River into Canby. Get your card signed in Canby, and then all you
have to do is winch your way up through New Era onto the plateau above
Oregon City. Your reward will be an awesome descent on South End Road
(with a stop sign at the bottom, natch) and a beer and a pizza back at the
finish line.
Hope to see you on June 1st!
