Rivish Ramble on Monday - PDX

[Andy Smitty Schmidt]

In response to the comments in another thread from folks who won't be able to make it to the Grant P Style Ride on Sunday, Mike (aka Leaf Slayer) and I got in touch off list and are planning our own Rivish Ride for Monday. Our general plan is to meet up in North Portland and head out to Dixie Mtn via St Johns, Hwy 30 and some gravel. We'll likely be out much of the day and there will be plenty of climbing, but we'll be taking it relatively easy since Mike has a 1200k coming up and we don't want to break him.  

If anyone's interested and available, either reply to this thread or send Mike or I a message off list.

This should be fun, but yeah, there's a fair amount of climbing to get
to the good stuff. And on the good stuff. Most of the gravel is
climbing. Should we do Dixie Mtn from Scappoose there will be a bit of
a slog out Hwy 30 which isn't so bad once you get past Cornelius Pass
Rd.

Here's some photos from two rides taking in different aspects of Dixie
Mtn.

I got a couple emails asking about details... 

Our tentative route is about 50 miles. No shortage of hills, several miles of gravel and some shoulder-of-the-highway riding to round out the experience. 

Bring at 2 bottles of water and food.

Meet 9am Monday at Madrona Hill Cafe (SW corner of N Greely & Ainsworth). Expect to be home about dinner time.

Are you still interested in Sunday's ride? I'll be at work on Mon.
