Matthew Rider
There are some great roads out in that area. Both of these routes are flat.
The second option is a couple miles shorter than the first. I know some
roads are being ship sealed but what I've ridden on recently has been easily
rideable. The gravel has been pushed aside by traffic.
Both routes start at West Union and Cornelius Pass Rd. If you want to add
some mileage and climbing let me know, I can send you a couple other routes.
Avoid Hwy 47 N of Purdin/Verbort Rd, fairly high traffic and no shoulder.
Otherwise, the roads are really good, pretty easy to string something
together.
