I grew up in Sublimity...about 10 miles from there. This one is about
50 miles, with LOTS of climbing.
Leave from Silverton and head SW on Main St. out from the center of
town. Take a left on Eureka Avenue. You will follow this for a few
miles, and it will become Drift Creek. Follow this until it meets with
Hwy 214. Take a right towards Silver Falls State Park. Ride through
Silver Falls S.P., maybe take in a waterfall or two. Keep an I out for
traffic as this is a popular spot, and they aren't used to cyclists up
there. Keep on 214 it will wrap you back into Silverton.

I've heard Silverton / Silver Falls has some good road routes out
there. Can anyone point me to a site, a map, or just give me the
left-right-lefts? Nothing insane: 40 to 60 miles seems about right.
Gracias!
