What I love about this ride
This is the delivery route for Slow Hand Farm’s CSA shares which someday soon will be done by cargo bicycle (I hope). The ride heads out from St. Johns where the home office is, over the St Johns Bridge, to the farm. It doubles back, through St. Johns, following Willamette Blvd. which overlooks Swan Island, and the city skyline. The route crosses the Broadway Bridge into the Pearl, where the first drop site is, and then loops back along the west side of the Esplanade and under the Steel Bridge into the Rose Quarter, where the second drop site is. Finally it winds back up along Williams into North Portland and back to the start.
The ride is a mostly flat with a few minor climbs over bridges, although heavily loaded they are challenging. The big descent is along Greeley, which is punctuated by two traffic merges to watch out for. There are long open stretches along Highway 30 and Sauvie Island, and very urban routes to navigate in the Pearl District. The route is on good cycling roads, mostly with bike lanes or wide shoulders with only a few major traffic crossings to watch out for.
Traffic: Mixed, and significant in spots
