[OHPV-list] Champoeg/Canby

[Michael.Wolfe@kp.org]

Hey OHPV'ers!

This message is kinda for Bruce and Bill down in Canby, but it might be of 
interest to anyone who shows up for the fun web rides they lead down on 
French Prairie, in their neck of the woods.

I got a chance to do a 150k brevet this last weekend, and it was a blast. 
All the things I like about riding organized centuries (pre-mapped 
courses, good company, cooperation/drafting (unlike ultra races, for 
instance)) and none of the things I dislike (It was free!  I didn't have 
to pay for Costco muffins I didn't want anyway!)  If you're interested in 
distance riding, hook up with the Oregon Randonneurs.  Good fun.

Anyway, the route went by Champoeg, and then east.  It did the drop down 
to Butteville that everyone who has ridden the Wheelmen's Spring Century 
is familiar with.  But instead of going up the hill on the other side, it 
kept going along the river on Butteville Road.  So I thought that I would 
propose this alternative route for the next time we join Bruce and Bill 
for a ride over to St. Paul for coconut cream pie -- it's a couple miles 
longer, but more scenic and more peaceful than that stretch of Arndt Road. 
 Just an idea.
