Let’s climb! Practice climbing, both sitting and standing, on a fifteen mile route with almost 1,500 feet of elevation gain. The pace will be mostly in the single digits climbing up to Council Crest Park Park. But the pace can easily exceed 20 mph on straight sections of the descent. Regrouping as needed on short segments with frequent turns. One of our skiers likes to use her electric bike on rides like this because she can pass cyclists climbing hills who normally pass her on flat terrain.
Meet at 10:00 a.m. at the boat ramp in Willamette Park (in Southwest Portland less than a mile north of the Sellwood Bridge). Enter the park at the intersection of SW Macadam and Nebraska Street. If driving, pay to park in the lot or park free on streets outside of the park. Heavy rain will cancel the trip.
