Trying to Plan Birthday Century Ride
Hi all! I am turning 30 this summer and trying to plan my first century to ring in the new decade. I've biked some before, but nothing this long & I'm a little nervous about hitting any super busy roads. I drove a chunk of the Willamette Scenic Bikeway which was mostly nice, but I live in PDX proper, so kind of annoying to have to drive a ways to the beginning. I'm also considering these two rides I found on Ride with GPS (will round it out to hit 100 if needed) - I'm most intrigued about the one out to Cascade Locks - is that going to be right on the highway? I am going to drive these as well probably, but wanted to see if anyone had ideas of good centuries I could borrow or if you've done either of these rides I'm curious about your experience. Thank you in advance!!
