Gain: 1200 feet
Start: Brewer's Bread
After: Brewer's Bread
Join us as we run along ALL 3 Macleay trails (lower, upper, and just plain ole Macleay) running up to Pittock, then down Wildwood to a super "secret" garden before a final cruise through the streets of NW PDX to coffee! There will be challenging climbs, fast descents, and plenty of cruising!
Afterwards we’ll return to Brewer's Bread for hot (or iced!) coffee, tasty sourdough delights, and picnic table chats as the sun warms our hearts.
Here’s the route (we will do plenty of regrouping to stay on track!):
