Marine Drive out and back

Our annual "must avoid the St Paul Rodeo" ride - instead a flat ride from Lewis and Clark State Park (Troutdale) out and back on the Marine Drive trail (and road) system. Optionally, riders can do the climb on the Historic Columbia River Highway up to Crown Point (20 mile round trip).

We have three main "turn about" points on the Marine Drive loop. Blue Lake Park (10 mi), I-205 Bridge (20 mi), Broughton Beach Dock (30 mi).

The parking lot at Lewis and Clark State Park is SOUTH of the railroad trestle after you exit I-84 (Lewis and Clark exit). Skip the unpaved (gravel) area to the left of the off ramp - follow the road left, and you'll see the lot to your left after the railroad trestle.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. Participants are expected to have their own supplies (water, snacks, tire repair kits) and bicycles ready to ride. Print your own cue sheet from the links below. Be prepared to navigate the route yourself or follow/accompany other riders matching your pace.

We do not do roll calls, and will not be able to keep track of everybody who is riding. However, we have a wide range of cyclists from beginners to veterans, so please make sure to partner with at least one other person who is riding at your pace. Participants are expected to obey all traffic laws while participating in this event. Participants are expected to support each other for minor repairs (flat tires). Major mechanical failures that require pickup can call Kent (but retrieval will be delayed until he completes his loop and returns to the park). CALL 911 FOR ALL CRASHES AND INJURIES REQUIRING ASSISTANCE.

THE ORGANIZERS OF THIS RIDE AND THIS MEETUP ASSUME NO LIABILITY. PARTICIPANTS RIDE AT THEIR OWN RISK.
