Larch Mountain (50mi/5000')

We'll start at Lewis and Clark State Recreation Site. From here, we ride along the Sandy River on the Historic Columbia River Highway. We'll make our way through Springdale and Corbett before getting on East Larch Mountain Road, where we will stay for the remainder of the climb.

At the top, we can hike to Sherrard Pt for an excellent view. The trail is 0.2mi long and is paved, so it is advisable to bring clip covers or additional footwear.

Now, it is time for a well-earned descent! On the way back down, we will break away from the typical out-and-back by taking Brower Road and Chamberlain Road from Corbett nearly back to the start.

Thank you, Jenny, for providing the route!

Level: Speedy Intermediate. This is not a beginner ride, nor is it a racing ride.

14-16 mph average pace for this no-drop ride. We'll regroup at the top of hills and when necessary. Climb at your own pace. Bring a layer for fun times cruising down. Guidelines for this ride are: safety, flexibility, and communication.
