Training Ride - West Hills

Being that we have some big rides starting in early spring, I thought I should start leading some training rides to get back into shape.

This will be a road ride through the West Hills of Portland.  See route description below 

This ride is open to anyone interested in climbing some hills and working on getting in shape.

Ride route:  Starting at PSU we will ride up to and through the Rose Gardens, the work our way back over to Terwilliger Blvd/Dunaway Park (via various neighborhood roads), Terwilliger to Capital and up to and around Fairmount Loop and back to PSU. 

This is a beginning season training ride and we are not out to kill anyone off…

In addition, the route allows people to create a shorter route if needed for a shorter time commitment or level of fitness. Let me know if you are interested in joining me.
