    There’s wonderful biking country just to the west of Portland. The roads on this loop have long been popular with cyclists, whether they’re training for a race or enjoying a good scenic ride.
    There are good hills on Thompson, Springville and Skyline Boulevard, but the roads west of 185th Avenue are pretty level. As you ride through the rural land, you’ll see barns, wheat fields, horses, hawks (we saw a coyote once) and probably other cyclists.

    Note: There are two “loops” within this route; take them counterclockwise.

    Motorized Vehicle Traffic: Moderate

    Seasons: All
