Hey everybody,

I hope the holiday season is treating you well!

I'm hoping to compile a list of the best cycling climbs in Oregon starting with Portland. What are your favorite climbs around Portland? I'm defining "around Portland" as close enough to ride to if you're relatively fit. Having lived in Portland for 15+ years and having been a cyclist for around 10 of them, I'm still hoping to find some gems that I don't know about!

I think my favorite has to be Saltzman. It was a main stay training ride when I was racing years ago. Easy to get to, relatively challenging, in Forest Park, gravel, and leads to Skyline... Hard to beat!

Thanks!

Ben
